AntiCholinesterases for Adept Anaesthetists

Anti-Cholinesterases, they find widespread use in clinical medicine.
Their role in reversal of neuromuscular blockade is certainly dwindling given sugammadexes rise to post patent [can actually afford to use it] supremacy.
But if you are using atracurium, then go nuts!

Sugammadex - the best drug in the world?

Sugammadex, if Carlsberg made Sugammadex, it might just be the best drug in the world.
I.e. if you were to describe a perfect neuromuscular reversal drug, sugammadex is getting very close!

Cisatracurium + other drugs that impair neuromuscular function

Cisatracurium is one of the ten isomers found in an ampoule of Atracurium! It has been selected out as a useful, potent, predictably degrading drug with a very stable side effect profile!
Althought, it might be that, whilst Cisatracurium probably sounded like a great idea at the time... it was perhaps batting for a marketing USP that wasn't quite there..
If we were being particularly clever we could call it the R-cis-R'-cis isomer of Atracurium besilate, it is 3 times as potent as the Atracurium mix in your anaesthetic room fridge

Mivacurium + mischief with plasma cholinesterase

A not so brief jaunt with Oxygen, toxicity, exploding cylinders + heli-ox vs sulphur hexafluoride gas.

The ubiquity of oxygen in the curriculum is directly correlated with its importance! One of many episodes that focus on the facets o knowledge needed to understand how oxygen does its thing. Today, when too much oxygen is a bad thing, how it is obtained, transported in hospitals and the negative implications of its use + some history that I know you all deeply desire!

Nitrous Oxide: Anaesthetic Mechanisms, B12 Toxicity and Safe Storage

Nitrous Oxide, once a corner stone of 'passing the gas' has been progressively displaced by better agents, think sevoflurane with less PONV, remifentanil for rapid titratable pain relief and even desflurane for its speedier offset.
This episode handles everything you need to know and more for the exams!

Ether, Enflurane and Explosions for 'Victorian' Anaesthetists

The 2025 Bumper Christmas Special, delving into the delights of Ether, Enflurane and Explosions (+ fires, flames and/or power metal)
We find out a little bit about the first Ether anaesthetic, and then get to grips with what an explosion is, and why understandably, it was problematic for anaesthetists.

Desflurane Anaesthesia: Tec6 Vaporiser & Clinical non-Applications

I've checked the house, there are no polar bears so we should be fine to talk about this drug.
Desflurane is pricey, polar bear poison that you may get examined on! Check it out!
