1A 62-year-old intubated patient with septic shock is mechanically ventilated in volume-controlled mode (tidal volume 8 mL/kg predicted body weight, PEEP 10 cmH2O, zero spontaneous respiratory efforts). Arterial line analysis reveals a Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) of 16%. Which condition is a mandatory physiological prerequisite for PPV to accurately predict fluid responsiveness?
2During the resuscitation of a patient with vasodilatory shock, the intensivist performs a Passive Leg Raise (PLR) test. Which measurement method is recommended to accurately assess the hemodynamic response during PLR?
3In a critically ill patient monitored with a pulmonary artery catheter (Swan-Ganz), which physiological condition will cause the Pulmonary Artery Occlusion Pressure (PAOP / wedge pressure) to overestimate true Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Pressure (LVEDP)?
4In transpulmonary thermodilution (e.g., PiCCO system), which parameter directly quantifies pulmonary edema and correlates strongly with ARDS severity and ICU mortality?
5A patient with septic shock has a Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) of 68 mmHg on norepinephrine, Central Venous Oxygen Saturation (ScvO2) of 74%, but arterial blood lactate continues to rise (4.8 mmol/L). Venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (Pv-aCO2 / PCO2 gap) is calculated at 9 mmHg (normal <= 6 mmHg). How should this elevated PCO2 gap be interpreted?
6The ratio between venous-to-arterial PCO2 difference and arterial-to-venous oxygen content difference (Pv-aCO2 / Da-vO2) is measured in a critically ill patient. What does a Pv-aCO2 / Da-vO2 ratio greater than 1.4 mmHg/mL O2 indicate?
7In Point-of-Care Ultrasonography (POCUS), what echocardiographic finding characterizes severe acute cor pulmonale in acute massive pulmonary embolism?
8The Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score grades systemic venous congestion in critically ill patients. Which combination of Doppler findings corresponds to VExUS Grade 3 (severe venous congestion)?
9When assessing fluid responsiveness using the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Velocity-Time Integral (LVOT VTI) during a mini-fluid challenge (100–150 mL crystalloid over 1 minute) or PLR, what percentage increase in VTI indicates fluid responsiveness?
10An underdamped arterial line waveform tracing produces which artifactual distortion on the bedside monitor?
About the TEMI Adulto (AMIB / AMB) Exam
The Título de Especialista em Medicina Intensiva — Área Adulto (TEMI Adulto) is the premier specialist certification awarded to Brazilian intensive care physicians by the Associação de Medicina Intensiva Brasileira (AMIB) under the authority of the Associação Médica Brasileira (AMB) and the Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM). Governed by AMIB Edital nº 1898/2026, the certification process verifies advanced clinical expertise in managing multi-organ failure, hemodynamic collapse, refractory respiratory failure, acute neurological catastrophes, severe sepsis, and critical metabolic derangements in adult intensive care units. The examination comprises two eliminatory assessment phases: a comprehensive written Prova Teórica (objective multiple-choice exam) and a simulation-based Prova Prática / Teórico-Prática evaluating clinical vignettes, point-of-care ultrasound, mechanical ventilation waveforms, blood gas curves, and crisis management, complemented by an exhaustive Anexo VI curricular scoring evaluation where completed CNRM-accredited intensive care residency earns full eligibility points. This practice bank provides an English-language study adaptation of 100 verified questions matching AMIB's rigorous clinical standards and Brazilian regulatory frameworks.
Assessment
Two sequential eliminatory stages run by the Associação de Medicina Intensiva Brasileira with the AMB under Edital nº 1898/2026, scoped to the ÁREA ADULTO (AMIB certifies Medicina Intensiva Pediátrica through a separate process). Etapa 1: Prova Teórica of 90 four-option multiple-choice questions lasting 4 hours, assessed jointly with an Análise Curricular scored from 0 to 100 (Anexo VI). Etapa 2: Prova Prática using simulation stations and clinical scenarios that assess technical skills, decision-making, communication and professional attitudes.
Time Limit
Etapa 1: 4 hours. Etapa 2: simulation stations on a separate day.
Passing Score
Etapa 1 combines the theoretical mark with the curricular score: a curricular score of 100 requires a minimum of 48 correct answers, a score between 50 and 99 requires 49, and a score below 50 requires 50. Etapa 2 requires at least 70% on the Prova Prática, corresponding to a final average of 3,5 or higher.

TEMI Adulto (AMIB / AMB) Study Tips from Top Performers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TEMI Adulto and who administers the examination?
The TEMI Adulto (Título de Especialista em Medicina Intensiva — Área Adulto) is the official specialist title examination administered by the Associação de Medicina Intensiva Brasileira (AMIB) in partnership with the Associação Médica Brasileira (AMB) and recognized by the Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM). Passing this exam and satisfying curricular requirements grants the legal right to register as a board-certified intensivist (RQE in Medicina Intensiva) in Brazil.
What are the eligibility pathways defined in AMIB Edital nº 1898/2026 Anexo VI?
Under AMIB Edital nº 1898/2026, eligibility is evaluated through the Anexo VI scoring matrix (maximum 100 points). Completion of a CNRM-accredited Medical Residency Program in Adult Intensive Care Medicine (Residência Médica em Medicina Intensiva Adulto credenciada pela CNRM/MEC) automatically confers 100 points. Alternatively, practicing physicians without residency can qualify by accumulating validated clinical practice time in accredited ICUs, AMIB training center (CEPETI) fellowships, publications, and post-graduate credits totaling the required threshold.
Does TEMI cover Pediatric Intensive Care Medicine as well?
No. AMIB and AMB certify Adult Intensive Care (Medicina Intensiva Adulto) and Pediatric Intensive Care (Medicina Intensiva Pediátrica) through entirely separate editais, examinations, and competency frameworks. This certification module is strictly scoped to the Adult title (TEMI Adulto).
How is the TEMI Adulto examination structured across phases?
The examination features two eliminatory stages: Phase 1 is the Prova Teórica (written objective multiple-choice exam testing foundational critical care physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and clinical guidelines), and Phase 2 is the Prova Prática / Teórico-Prática (interactive clinical vignettes, bedside procedural simulations, mechanical ventilation waveform adjustments, echocardiography/POCUS loops, and arterial blood gas interpretation). Candidates must achieve a minimum grade of 7.0 (70%) in each eliminatory phase.
What is the official Brazilian legal protocol for Brain Death determination?
Brain death determination in Brazil is strictly governed by Resolução CFM nº 2.173/2017. It mandates: (1) known severe, irreversible brain damage; (2) absence of confounding factors (hypothermia < 35°C, severe hypotension, metabolic coma, or residual sedative/neuromuscular blocking agents with proven washout); (3) two distinct clinical examinations conducted by two qualified physicians (at least one trained in neurology, neurosurgery, intensive care, or emergency medicine), with minimum observation intervals (1 hour for patients >= 2 years of age); (4) a standardized positive Apnea Test demonstrating PaCO2 > 55 mmHg without spontaneous respiratory effort; and (5) at least one mandatory confirmatory ancillary test demonstrating total absence of electrical activity (EEG), cerebral perfusion (angiography/transcranial Doppler), or metabolic activity.
Why is this OpenExamPrep practice bank presented in English?
This practice module provides 100 high-yield multiple-choice questions in English designed to build rigorous conceptual mastery for intensivists and medical scholars. It retains all official Brazilian statutory terms, CFM resolutions (e.g., CFM nº 2.173/2017, nº 1.805/2006, nº 1.995/2012), AMIB guidelines, and Anvisa standards within an internationalized, bilingual study framework.
