Anaesthesia FOAM

FOAMA reference list of FOAM (Free Open-Access Meducation) sites focusing on the field of anaesthesia is being populated here.  Please make suggestions in the comments!

  • Airway Management Acadamy Media Library – a good collection of videos with an airway focus.

  • GasExchange – Q&A style in discursive articles on all topics.
  • GasDoc2857 – “Ramblings from a gasdoc with interests in #anaesthesia, #intensivecare, #echo, #phem and #FOAM
  • ICE-TAP – The International Consortium for EEG Training of Anesthesia Practitioners
  • MonashAnaesthesia – #gasfoam from the home of the Vortex Approach
  • Propofology has a great set of infographics on a wide range of anaesthesia topics, as well as a good list of other resources.
