Stuff We Like

Not everything useful for Primary prep has to feel like Primary prep. These are sites, podcasts and people we’ve genuinely found useful, interesting or worth disappearing into for a while.

Websites

• Part One — clear notes across the anaesthetic primary syllabus.
• ICU Primary Prep — one of the resources that helped inspire CICMWrecks.
• Deranged Physiology — basically an online ICU textbook, in the best possible way.
• LD99
• The Finnis Notes

Podcasts

For the patients: Intensive Care Network, SMACC and EMCrit.

For yourself: The Infinite Monkey Cage and TED Talks.

People who summarise journals for you

• The NNT — a useful way to ask the question that matters: how helpful is this actually?
• Critical Care Reviews
• The Bottom Line — concise critical appraisals of important trials.
• Life in the Fast Lane
• PulmCCM
• Don’t Forget the Bubbles — particularly useful for paediatric critical care and emergency medicine.
