Here is your complete ICU Beginner's Guide - everything is covered above in organized sections. Here's a summary of what's included:
What's in these notes:
| Section | Topics Covered |
|---|---|
| 1 | FAST HUG daily ICU checklist |
| 2 | CVP line - indications, sites, normal values, complications |
| 3 | Intubation - when to intubate, SOAP-ME prep, ETT sizes, confirmation |
| 4 | RSI drugs table (etomidate, ketamine, succinylcholine, rocuronium, propofol + doses/onset) |
| 5 | All ventilator modes (AC/VC, AC/PC, PSV, SIMV, APRV, CPAP) with pros/cons + lung-protective settings |
| 6 | 6-step ABG interpretation (pH, compensation, anion gap, delta-delta, MUDPILES, P/F ratio) |
| 7 | Vasopressors chart (noradrenaline, dopamine, vasopressin, dobutamine), sedation (propofol, dex, midazolam), ACLS drugs, RASS score |
| 8 | Daily ICU labs, monitoring targets (MAP, SpO₂, glucose, UO), CXR reading checklist, ECG red flags |
| 9 | Formula cheat sheet + emergency action cards (DOPES, hyperkalemia, septic shock, desaturation) |
Key points to bookmark on Day 1:
- PEEP keeps alveoli open; plateau pressure < 30 cmH₂O protects the lung
- Etomidate is your go-to RSI drug when the patient is hemodynamically unstable
- Norepinephrine is first-line vasopressor for septic shock
- ABG interpretation: always do all 6 steps - never stop at pH
- DOPES mnemonic saves lives when ventilated patients desat suddenly
