Objective recording of teaching behavior frequency motivated adoption of deliberate guided teaching behaviors by surgeons, resulting in both subjective reports by residents of more frequent teaching and objective recording of parallel improvements. A deliberate focus on objectively assessing surgeon educators' periprocedural teaching may motivate improved teaching.

Esophageal respiratory fistulas, commonly found as a tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), are abnormal connections between the esophagus and trachea. These can be congenital (infants) or acquired (malignancy). A more rare form of an esophageal respiratory fistula is an abnormal connection between the esophagus and the lung parenchyma-also known as an esophagopulmonary fistula. In our case, we present a middle-aged male with a history of esophageal cancer undergoing chemotherapy and radiation presenting into the intensive care unit for increasing shortness of breath and vomiting after eating found to have a rare form of a TEF causing his symptoms.
