ICU rotation

[fantasty]

I'm starting my medical ICU rotation next week, and I don't think we have a required text. Do you have any reading suggestions (hardcopy or online)? I'm feeling like I need to brush up on a lot (especially things like vent management).

Most everyone will recommend Marino's "The ICU Book."

If you want something a little less mind numbing than the famours ICU book you can try

Good podcasts on ICU topics- I know it says surgical ICU, but most of the topics apply in a medical ICU also.

I bought "Critical Care Medicine" by Wheeling and Marini. Seems like a good book. Looks to be shorter (and was cheaper) than Marino's.

"The Clinical Smart Book" by Theodore Foley...
http://www.amazon.com/Clinical-Smar...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201829261&sr=8-1

It's got sections on how to write ICU notes, what to check on, using the ventilator, parenteral nutrition... And it's small enough to fit in a white coat.
