Welcome to the new home of SinaiEM’s academic content.
This website will be used as a central repository of our academic information to help you get fast access to all the information you need quickly, like in resus or RACC! As you progress through residency, you will learn that “Resus from Triage” is phrase frequently heard on the overhead system. This signals that a sick patient is on their way to you, the resus resident. You may even be so (un)lucky to hear the infamous “resus from triage already in resus”.
Here, you will find weekly pearls from your TRs, takeaway points from VMR, conference notes, procedural guides, shift resources and more!
Use the search function at the top right to look for specific content. We are working on categorizing post by topics which will eventually fill the left bar.
Happy Resuscitating!
