AbstractEffective and efficient critical thinking skills are necessary to engage in accurate clinical reasoning and to make appropriate clinical decisions. Teaching and promoting critical thinking skills in the intensive care unit is challenging because of the volume of data and the constant distractions of competing obligations. Understanding and acknowledging cognitive biases and their impact on clinical reasoning are necessary to promote and support critical thinking in the ICU. Active educational strategies such as concept or mechanism mapping can help to diagnose disorganized thinking and reinforce key connections and important clinical and pathophysiologic concepts, which are critical for inductive reasoning.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
