Hello all,

I'm an MS3 finishing up my anesthesia rotation. My attending wants me to do a Case Presentation tomorrow. I am not familiar with the format of an anesthesia case. Could someone possibly give me a quick idea of the format and neccessary content I need to include in a case presentation? Thanks!

Do you mean he wants you to present a patient who is going to have surgery, and relate your anesthetic plan? Or do you mean he wants you to present a case that took place at some point during the rotation? Did the attending give you an idea of how much time he expects this to fill?

He wants me to present on a patient's case that I had encountered at some point during the rotation.
