I’m Bryan Boling, a critical care nurse practitioner and educator. I split my clinical time between Neurocritical Care and Surgical Critical Care, but I have an extensive background in Emergency Medicine and Cardiac Surgical Critical Care as well.
I’m really interested in all aspects of critical care, but particularly shock, resuscitation, and use of POCUS. I’m most passionate about acute and critical care education. That’s the reason that I created this site. I speak at conferences and teach in multiple locations and found that I was accumulating a lot of great educational resources from across the internet and wanted a place to share them with my students and anyone else who wants to learn and become a better critical care provider.
Critical Care Scenarios
In addition to all the wonderful podcasts out there that I regularly listen to, share, and recommend, I have my own podcast! Along with Brandon Oto, I co-host Critical Care Scenarios, a podcast dedicated to scenario-based critical care training. It aims to develop a practical, hands-on understanding of the management of critically ill patients through the medium of “talked through” verbal scenarios, presented bi-weekly in an informal podcast format.
Intensive Care Academy
Brandon and I are also the lead instructors at the Intensive Care Academy, an online learning platform dedicated to critical care using informal, self-paced video lessons that are accessible to anyone. We discuss the seminal, practice-guiding trials in critical care, and offer conceptual frameworks to structure understanding… but the ultimate goal is a practical, useful approach to critical care that learners can bring to the bedside. It’s designed for anybody with an interest in critical care medicine, including advanced practice providers (PAs or NPs), physicians, nurses, trainees at every level, EMS providers, and allied health professionals.
Concepts in Surgical Critical Care
Concepts in Surgical Critical Care is an indispensable resource for the APP, non-surgical intensivist, or non-intensivist surgeon who regularly provides critical care for surgical patients. It features a user-friendly organization designed for quick reference while at the bedside of patients or in an office. It starts with foundational critical care topics across all surgical specialties and is followed by the specifics, including gastrointestinal surgery, cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, obstetrics, and more. Concepts in Surgical Critical Care is a unique resource written by APPs to help APPs provide superior care for their perioperative critically-ill patients.
