Inotropes, vasopressors and other vasoactive agents
Vasoactive agents include the following: inotropes; vasopressors; inodilators and some that don't fit like dopamine...
PaO2/FiO2 Ratio (P/F Ratio)
PaO2/FiO2 ratio is the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2 in mmHg) to fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2 expressed as a fraction, not a percentage)
Mechanical Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (mCPR)
Mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (mCPR) devices are automated devices that provide chest compression during cardiac arrest, without the need for human-performed manual compression.
Don’t use compression only CPR for drowning victims
In drowning victims, it’s primarily respiratory in nature, and they absolutely need ventilations. But how many of the ads for CCPR are that nuanced?

If the lights go out…
If the light on the laryngoscope fails, clean contact between blade and handle, check bulb is screwed in place securely. If this fails, use a spoon
ABG changes in Cardiac Arrest and CPR
The degree of acid-base abnormality during cardiac arrest and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is dependent on a number of variables
Arterial Blood Gas in Hypothermia
Arterial Blood Gas in Hypothermia. The solubility of oxygen and carbon dioxide is increased at low temperatures.
Bimanual laryngoscopy
Bimanual laryngoscopy using external laryngeal manipulation (ELM) is the single most practical and effective airway management technique for facilitating intubation during direct laryngoscopy.
Resuscitology: learning, connection, and positive change
Resuscitology isn’t really a course or a conference though. It’s a gathering of like-minded Resuscitationists who want to learn from each other on how to optimise their practice.
Own the Oxylog
If you're a doc or nurse in Australasia and you take care of critically ill patients chances are you should be familiar with the Oxylog 3000.
