Manage critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit. Together with their teams, students take in-house overnight call every fifth night, usually admitting 2-3 new patients each call night with maximum census of 6-8 patients for ongoing care. Patient load may be adjusted as needed based on student comfort and patient complexity. Students evaluate all assigned patients, completing and recording the medical interview, physical examination, diagnostic assessment, and management plan. Students reevaluate their impressions on daily rounds and in teaching conferences with the Pulmonary/Critical Care faculty. Students learn to interpret sputum samples, chest x-rays, arterial blood gases, and tests of ventilation and gas exchanges. Students learn to perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, which include thoracentesis, central line placement, arterial line placement, intubation, ventilator management. Students will also have the opportunity to observe bronchoscopy.
