Explain, highlight, revise

Every question includes a full referenced explanation, reviewed by topic experts, so you can highlight the details that matter and come back to them later.

Notepad
Glycopeptide antibiotics such as vancomycin and teicoplanin work by binding to peptidoglycan precursors and preventing cell wall synthesis. Specifically, they bind to the D-alanyl-D-alanine terminus, preventing cross-linking of the bacterial cell wall.

Consolidate with learning points

Review concise, high-yield takeaways from questions you have attempted to reinforce the concepts that come up again and again.

Recovery from inhaled anaesthetics is fastest with agents that have low blood:gas partition coefficients, as these agents rapidly diffuse from blood into alveoli for elimination.
Unlike induction, recovery cannot be accelerated by reducing alveolar concentration below zero, and tissue anaesthetic tensions are variable at the start of recovery depending on agent and duration of anaesthesia.

Increased dead space ventilation
Reduced anatomical dead space

Pulmonary embolism increases physiological dead space because ventilated alveoli receive reduced perfusion. This produces wasted ventilation and contributes to hypoxaemia through ventilation-perfusion mismatch.

What content is covered in Intensive Care Medicine?

The Intensive Care Medicine resource covers topics in the CICM curriculum, using recommended reference texts.

Who is Intensive Care Medicine suitable for?

The content is aimed at candidates preparing for the CICM Part 1 examinations, with content across a range of difficulty.

How often is eMedici content updated?

All content is reviewed and referenced by clinicians and educators, in line with the latest evidence-based guidelines. Updates to content are made on a regular, ongoing basis in response to changes in guidelines, statistical data, and user feedback.

How is eMedici content designed in relation to exam formats?

When developing eMedici content, we take a range of factors into account, including exam format, topic coverage, subject matter, level of difficulty, and expected clinical pitch. Our aim is to ensure the content is relevant, appropriately pitched, and aligned with what candidates are commonly assessed on in Australian medical examinations.

Our priority is to provide strong educational value. This means that while questions are exam preparation relevant, they may not appear identically to how a question is written or presented in a specific exam. Instead, items are deliberately designed to build core knowledge, test key concepts, and explain clinical reasoning in a way that supports deeper understanding.
