The Critical |
|
The critical care team is generally made up on a daily
basis of the SICU Attending for the week, the critical care Fellows, four to
five residents from the Department of Anesthesiology, one resident from the
Department of Surgery, and four medical students. Rounds are conducted twice
daily, seven days a week. Rounds begin in the morning and are a combination
of both didactic and work sessions. At noon, following morning rounds, there
is the teaching conference where lectures that have been assigned are given.
Afterwards, the team then reviews and divides the work that has been
generated, including various procedures and admissions or discharges of
patients. Generally, afternoon rounds are made with the team scheduled to be
on call that night.
