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

One potential solution that was brought forward was putting multiple patients on a single ventilator. This is a lot harder than merely attaching a plastic splitter on a ventilator. In this episode, we explain safety and physiological considerations. Also, we briefly discuss specific patient care issues and ventilator settings if your circumstance requires you to adopt this approach.

Prone Ventilation for ARDS (COVID-19)
This week we have a brief conversation about prone mechanical ventilation for ARDS. Does it provide a benefit? When should we use it, and why does it work? I hope this is helpful as prone ventilation has been reported to provide benefit to patients with ARDS secondary to Coronavirus (COVID-19) infection.
