In this episode I mention the new ACCRAC mailing list which you can sign up for with the link right below the show description on the website accrac.libsyn.com. You can also post comments on the website and email questions to [email protected] or [email protected]. I also highlight Rob MacSweeney’s fantastic critical care site called criticalcarereviews.com and his newsletter which you can subscribe to on his site. The weekly newsletter includes the week’s top trials and papers in critical care. The rest of the episode is a high yield board review of the ABA topic of obstructive lung disease. I cover the following topics: #Upper airway obstruction including extra thoracic and intra thoracic obstruction #Flow volume loops and how to interpret them #Lower airway and parenchymal obstruction including #COPD #Asthma #Cystic Fibrosis and bronchiectasis #Mediastinal masses
