Abstract
The Academic Life in Emergency Medicine (ALiEM) Approved Instructional Resources (AIR) Series and Approved Instruction Resources Professional (AIR-Pro) Series were created in 2014 and 2015, respectively, to address the need for curation of online educational content as well as a nationally available curriculum that meets individualized interactive instruction criteria. These two programs identify high-quality educational blog and podcast content using an expert-based approach.We summarize the accredited posts on respiratory emergencies that met our a priori determined quality criteria per evaluation by eight experienced faculty educators in emergency medicine.

Summary
There has been a rapid rise of educational content available through blogs and podcasts in emergency medicine (EM) [1]. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in 2008 endorsed a decrease in synchronous conference experiences for EM residency programs by up to 20% in exchange for asynchronous learning – termed Individualized Interactive Instruction (III) [5] These developments created a need for both online content quality assessment as well as a nationalized curriculum that met III criteria. For the ALiEM Blog and Podcast Watch series, summaries of these posts are written by the AIR and AIR-Pro Series’ editorial boards [8,9]. This installment from the series summarizes the highest scoring social media educational resources on respiratory emergencies. Resources with a mean score of 27-29 and deemed accurate and educationally valuable by the reviewers are given the Honorable Mention (HM) label
