Here's a couple links that have really helped me in my practice (i'm an ICU nurse) - for you guys that are honing your auscultation skills, and are sweating the ICU rotations ;) Or if you just like to know stuff :D
Lung Sounds (audio) (http://www.rale.ca/)
The Auscultation Assistant (audio) (http://www.wilkes.med.ucla.edu/inex.htm)
Critical Care Medicine Tutorial For Residents (http://www.ccmtutorials.com/index.htm)
Pulmonary Artery Catheter Education Project (http://www.pacep.org/)
ICU FAQs (http://www.icufaqs.org/)
-This is mainly geared for nurses, but reading through some of the stuff would be helpful for residents/med students who've never seen a PRISMA or IABP (a good idea - you don't want to show up not knowing what an LVAD is; attendings and ICU nursing staff will eat you alive)
