7-21-2020: When I created this post, I had not yet reviewed Dr. Weingart’s post and minicourse, EMCrit – Critical Care for Non-Intensivists during COVID19 Pandemic
March 25, 2020-this is where all of us non-intensivists should start.
I’m leaving the post below up because it has links to resources I have reviewed and found helpful in the past. For everybody else, go to Dr. Weingart’s awesome resource above.
In this post I list resources for a minicourse on ventilator and airway management in the COVID era for non-intensivist clinicians who may need to pitch in to help colleagues, the intensivist doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists.
