About: Welcome to The Bottom Line (TBL). This site has been built to create a compendium of all the landmark papers which are shaping the way we manage our critically ill patients. Each paper has been summarised and critiqued using a standard template and ends with a ‘bottom line’ conclusion to allow a quick reminder of the key points.
About: Keeping up with the constant flood of new information in pulmonary & critical care medicine is almost impossible today, in the traditional way. Multiple quality journals compete for the best studies, and for your attention (and subscription).
About: Promoting Open Access to Scientific Advancement. We believe everyone should have access to scientific advances which improve outcomes in critical illness. We work towards this goal by sharing the latest knowledge via our website, weekly newsletter, podcast, annual book and meeting.
About: Deranged Physiology is a very slowly growing online resource for information regarding intensive care medicine, as well as an exploration of human physiology, with frequent irrelevant digressions. It often relies on apocryphal sources, and delivers content which is occasionally more interesting than useful.
About: The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) is the leading medical organisation in the field of Intensive Care in Europe, with a global membership reach in more than 120 countries. Founded in March 1982 in Geneva, Switzerland, ESICM is a non-profit making international association.
About: Go The Extra Mile (GTEM) is an online platform for practising multiple choice questions (MCQ) in intensive care medicine.
About: Advancing the Science of Ultrasound Guided Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine.
About: Our mission – To develop and provide free-of-charge, open access medical education from the Scandinavian region. “Education for anyone, anytime, anywhere.” This is the promise of Free Open Access Meducation (or medical education), FOAM in short. And it’s here to transform medicine.
Lectures and Courses at Internetanestesi.se
Course in 20 minutes. A review of the physiology underlying CPR algorithms. Produced in collaboration with Josef Dankiewicz.
A general review of anesthesia for candidates and AT doctors. Time required approx. 2 hours 20 min.
Preparatory material for teaching semester 8 on the anesthesia/ICU course on the medical program at Lund University Sweden. The course goes through how gas exchange and acid-base balance work and is a clinically oriented review from physiology to a systematic review of blood gas values.
This course starts at the airway and works its way more distally, covering along the way a lot of respiratory mechanics and physiology needed to understand the subject.
An overview of the circulatory system, what happens when it fails.
Here we post instructional videos for practical procedures in anesthesia and ICU
A consultant reviews how postoperative lung complications occur and what we can do to protect our patients from them. A consultant explains how dangerous postoperative kidney failure really is and how we can avoid it.
A consultant goes through the challenge of putting our increasingly large patients to sleep. Another consultant explains how heart failure is becoming more and more common and these patients often have to be sedated. How do you do it?
A consultant gives an update on how to broaden the use of spinals. Another consultant goes through the symptoms you must never miss when there are complications to central blockades. Another consultant has a very thorough review of post-puncture headaches. Another consultant provides an overview of the latest developments in regional anesthesia of the trunk.
A consultant reviews fundamental aspects of birth epidurals. Another consultant goes through important things to think about in the first two minutes when you are taking care of an unexpectedly sick, newborn child.
A consultant reviews SFAI’s new airway algorithm and tracheostomy recommendations.
A consultant explains how to handle neurotrauma in the first 24 hours, and gives an overview of intracerebral vascular disasters.

EUROPEAN DIPLOMA
European Diploma in EchoCardiography (EDEC)
The European Diploma in EchoCardiography (EDEC) is offered to candidates who have met the set requirements of competency in advanced critical care echocardiography. For more information, please visit the EDEC webpages.
European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive care (EDAIC)
EDAIC is a joint European examination administered via the European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) in Brussels. In order to take the exam, you must be specialist competent or at the end of your ST and have passed both a written (Part I) and an oral exam (Part II). In some countries, for example Switzerland and Poland, EDAIC is mandatory in order to obtain your national specialist competence. In Sweden, the individual resident contract determines whether the resident doctor must undergo the tests and, if so, which parts must be approved.
