Below we have listed our selection of the 12 highest quality blog posts related to 5 advanced level questions on critical care topics posed, curated, and approved for residency training by the AIR-Pro Series Board. The blogs relate to the following questions:
Ultrasound fluid assessment
Ultrasound in critical care
Vasopressors for critical care patients
Peripheral intravenous vasopressor administration
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation basics
In this module, we have 8 AIR-Pro’s and 4 honorable mentions. To strive for comprehensiveness, we selected from a broad spectrum of blogs identified through FOAMSearch.net.
AIR-Pro Stamp of Approval and Honorable Mentions
In an effort to truly emphasize the highest quality posts, we have 2 subsets of recommended resources. The AIR-Pro stamp of approval will only be given to posts scoring above a strict scoring cut-off of ≥28 points (out of 35 total), based on our AIR-Pro scoring instrument, which is slightly different from our original AIR Series scoring instrument. The other subset is for “Honorable Mention” posts. These posts have been flagged by and agreed upon by AIR-Pro Board members as worthwhile, accurate, unbiased and useful to senior residents. Only the posts with the AIR-Pro stamp of approval will be part of the quiz needed to obtain III credit. To decrease the repetitive nature of posts relating to these advanced concepts, we did not always include every post found that met the score of ≥28 points.
After reading, please take the quiz. You do not have to complete the honorable mentions to complete the quiz. Feel free to ask questions in the blog comment section below. The AIR Board faculty will answer them within 48 hours of posting. Be sure to include your email or contact information where requested in the Disqus blog comment area, so that you will be notified when we reply.

Background Information About the AIR-Pro Series
The ALiEM Approved Instructional Resources (AIR)-Pro Series is an effort to reward our residents for the reading and learning they are already doing online. We have created an Individual Interactive Instruction (III) opportunity utilizing Free Open Access Meducation (FOAM) resources for U.S. Emergency Medicine residents. For each module, the AIR-Pro Board curates and scores a list of blogs and podcasts specifically answering questions tailored to the senior resident. A quiz is available to complete after each module to obtain residency conference credit. Once completed, your name and institution will be logged into our private Google Drive database, which participating residency program directors can access to provide proof of completion.
Do you belong to a residency program that is not currently participating? No problem! Any one can read the AIR-Pro series curated post and complete the quiz for educational value!
If a residency program is interested in participating, please contact us!
