A nephrology attending physician also makes daily critical care rounds. Intense hemodynamic, fluid and electrolyte, and respiratory monitoring is performed in the unit. Up to four students may be assigned to the ICU, each attached to a fellow, in the role of clerk, but with cases of increased complexity.
Students attend work rounds and attending physician teaching rounds.
They participate in the evaluation of new patients for admission to the ICU and, with supervision, if interested, learn to perform some ICU specific procedures. All rights reserved.
