The availability of reliable and accessible educational material for the training of nonspecialist intensive care physicians is potentially advantageous. We assessed the availability, cost, and content of generic short courses designed to teach basic critical care skills to junior physicians or nonspecialist intensive care physicians taking up duties in intensive care units.
A PubMed and Internet searches were conducted to identify and compare short courses that provide a curriculum similar to that proposed by the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists for resident training purposes. Course material available should allow the short course to be conducted independently by third parties.
Two courses, Basic Assessment and Support in Intensive Care and Fundamental Critical Care Support, met most of the Society of Critical Care Medicine and Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists curriculum requirements and can be independently conducted by third parties.
Both identified courses use a mixture self-learning, didactic lectures, and experiential learning using manikins and "minisimulations." Organizing bodies provide administrative support and can readily be located and contacted online. Basic Assessment and Support in Intensive Care charges no license fee, whereas Fundamental Critical Care Support offers fees at a reduced rate for developing countries. Both courses are recognized and conducted internationally.
为非专科重症监护医师提供可靠且易于获取的教育培训材料具有潜在优势。我们评估了为初级医师或承担重症监护任务的非专科重症监护医师设计的通用短期课程的可用性、成本和内容，这些课程旨在教授基本的重症监护技能。
通过 PubMed 和互联网搜索，确定并比较了那些提供类似于重症监护医学会和澳大利亚和新西兰麻醉医师学院为住院医师培训目的而制定的课程的短期课程。课程材料应允许第三方独立开展短期课程。
两项课程，即基础重症监护评估和支持以及基本重症监护支持，满足了重症监护医学会和澳大利亚和新西兰麻醉医师学院课程的大部分要求，并可由第三方独立开展。
两项已确定的课程均采用混合式自学、理论授课以及使用模拟人和“迷你模拟”进行体验式学习。组织机构提供行政支持，并且可以在网上轻松找到并联系。基础重症监护评估和支持不收取许可证费用，而基本重症监护支持则为发展中国家提供降低费用的选择。这两个课程都得到了国际认可和开展。
