Resident Role
• Receive sign out from overnight resident• Pre-round on PICU patients • Present patients at morning rounds beginning
promptly at 8:30am • After rounds carry out developed plan for each
patient: e.g. call consults, follow up on radiologic studies, etc.
• Discuss any management changes of patients with the attending / fellow prior to carrying out changes
Resident Role
• Recognize the patients are often very complicated and managed collaboratively with other services – e.g. neurosurgery, liver transplant, heme-onc, cardiology, etc.
• Significant changes to patient status should be discussed with the other services
Resident Role
• Be actively involved in stabilization of acutely ill patients
• Evaluate new admissions to the ICU and develop a management plan
• Present new admissions to the ICU fellow / attending
• Attend evening rounds and transfer care of patients to overnight resident
• Attend teaching conferences conducted by the ICU attendings / fellows
PICU Evaluations
• Group faculty evaluation completed on MedHub
• Verbal feedback from attendings while on the rotation – Be sure to ellicit feedback if not provided
Other Trainees & HCPs in PICU
• Anesthesia fellows
• Emergency medicine residents
• Medical students
• Nurse Practitioners
Anesthesia Fellows
• Only present for half the blocks
• Primarily provide support for fellow level activities in the ICU
• Will not carry any patients
ED Residents
• Will act as a 5th resident in the PICU
• To care for equal number of patients as pediatric residents
• Will take call with a pediatric resident and cover half the patients
• Excused for Wednesday AM ED conferences, but must pre-round and hand over notes to on call resident prior to leaving for education rounds
Medical Students
Primarily 2 rotations in PICU
• Critical care core clerkship – all patients followed by students on this rotation must be co-followed by residents (most students on this rotation)
• Sub-internship – these students can follow their own patients
PICU NP Role
• Hours of coverage in PICU: – Mon-Sat: 7:30am - 5:00pm
• Assist residents with ICU specific systems issues, e.g. writing PICU notes
• Complete daily goal sheets and review with Bedside RN at completion of rounds
• Pre-round on patients on Saturday
PICU NP Role
• Assist with patient flow: – Pre-round with consultants, i.e. neurosuregery, and
update resident with recommendations
– Writing accept notes and orders on post-op patients as needed, i.e. during am / pm sign-out
– Entering transfer orders for patients requiring transfer during rounds, etc.
• Attend Multidisciplinary rounds on Tuesdays at 11am
Notes
• New admissions require a dictated H&P and a brief note in the chart
• Post-operative admissions can have a post-op admission note written in the chart
• Patients in the ICU for longer than one week require a dictated clinical summary each Thursday
ICU Transfers
Patients being transferred from the ICU require
• Transfer summary
• Transfer orders– Surgical patients: surgeons often write orders
• Sign patient out to ward resident
Rounding & Presenting Patients
Sample PICU Progress Note
-Each patient’s note printed from Cerner (LPCH computer system)-Assure printed information up to date, i.e. ventilator settings
• Patient identification
• Quick assessment: i.e. patient improving, worsening, or unchanged
• Major (not all) interval events
• Vitals
• Physical exam: present exam appropriate for patient’s disease, e.g. neuro exam on neurosurgical patient (but examine all of patient)
• Present meds in appropriate system: e.g. steroids for asthmatic vs. steroids for liver transplant
• Respiratory: – Data: CXR findings, mode of support - NC vs BiPAP vs
ventilator
– A/P: changes in pulmonary compliance and changes in respiratory support accordingly
• CV: – Data: inotropic support, rhythm, echo results– A/P: changes in hemodynamic status and need for
changes in inotropic support
• Neuro:– Data: sedation medications, imaging studies– A/P: changes in neuro status, requirements for sedation
• FEN/GI: – Data: I/O’s, nutritional source, calories per day, Labs– A/P: changes in fluid status or liver functions,
modifying nutritional support
• Renal:– Data: urine output, any renal replacement therapy,
changes in BUN/Cr
– A/P: changes in renal function or diuretics
• Heme: – Data: labs, anti-coagulants
– A/P: changes in Hct, need for transfusion, coagulation status
• ID: – Data: WBC, cultures, antibiotic levels
– A/P: changes in antibiotics, etc.
• Psycho-social:– Family conferences or discussions with family
• One line of overall assessment and major plans for the day at the end
• Review orders
Procedures
• PICU fellows are given priority for all procedures (particularly 1st year fellows)– They must be trained in them prior to
completion of their fellowship
• Acute situations – fellow or attending will do procedure to optimize patient care
Procedures
