In this episode, I discuss one of the most important practical skills for medical students during the surgery clerkship: how to pre-round efficiently and deliver a concise, clinically useful patient presentation on rounds. Topics include: <ul data-start="1240" data-end="1530"> <li data-section-id="19lnlfb" data-start="1240" data-end="1289"> what surgeons actually care about during rounds</li> <li data-section-id="2mrfcc" data-start="1290" data-end="1334">how to identify important overnight events</li> <li data-section-id="1ey6or4" data-start="1335" data-end="1385"> recognizing trends in vital signs and physiology</li> <li data-section-id="o2hihh" data-start="1386" data-end="1426"> organizing a 60–90 second presentation</li> <li data-section-id="12buz2h" data-start="1427" data-end="1466"> common mistakes medical students make</li> <li data-section-id="6pbgli" data-start="1467" data-end="1530">how residents and attendings think differently about patients</li> </ul> This episode focuses on helping students move beyond simply reporting data and begin developing the clinical reasoning and prioritization skills that define effective surgical thinking.

In this episode, I discuss one of the most important practical skills for medical students during the surgery clerkship: how to pre-round efficiently and deliver a concise, clinically useful patient presentation on rounds. Topics include: what surgeons actually care about during rounds how to identify important overnight events recognizing trends in vital signs and physiology organizing a 60–90 second presentation common mistakes medical students make how residents and attendings think differently about patients This episode focuses on helping students move beyond simply reporting data and begin developing the clinical reasoning and prioritization skills that define effective surgical thinking.

Starting Surgery Rotation: How to Pre-Round and Present on Rounds

Hyponatremia or a low serum sodium is a common electrolyte problem that is dangerous if ignored or treated improperly.

Prehospital/Battlefield Tourniquet Use

Following the recent crash of the US Airways in the Hudson River, it is an appropriate time to discuss the clinical manifestations and treatment of hypothermia.

Environmental Hypothermia

Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) the center of a great deal of discussion of ventilator management. Knowing the factors that increase or decrease PIP are important to those managing critically ill patient. This podcast is steeped in physiology and perhaps more difficult than my typical podcasts. PIP= [Tv/ (Compliance Lung & Thorax)] + (Resistance of airway + flow )

A podcast dedicated to the teaching of critical care.  The focus audience is physicians, residents, medical students, nurses, therapists, and paramedics.  These are topics that arise while on teaching rounds in the Burn ICU at Vanderbilt Medical Center.  A broad scope of critical care and prehospital topics are presented as well as recent journal articles and medical news.
