Critical care physiology — reader’s guide
Educational work by a pre-medical student — not medical advice. Not a clinical protocol, prescription, or patient handout, and not for patient care. See DISCLAIMER.
Updated 29 October 2026. Worked ICU and CTICU cases connect physiology, investigations, clinical reasoning and reassessment.
Read in this order
- Start with the main work.
- Inspect the supporting review record.
- Read the authorship and review status, then use the README for the full repository contents.
Open the paired synthetic cases. The shared anesthesia guide provides additional educational context; it is not an implemented controller capability or an approved patient-care protocol.
Explore the 42 ICU topics, laboratory examples, pain/airway/ventilation guide and equipment basics. The evidence classification separates recommendations, general knowledge and context-dependent practice.
Reading focus
General knowledge, guideline recommendations and case-specific choices are labelled separately.
Scope
Wholly synthetic cases; no patient-care or clinical-validation claim.
Source interpretation, synthetic examples and implemented software behavior have different evidentiary roles. The supporting review record states what was actually checked.
