GasGasGas - Primary FRCA ’fun’
The Primary FRCA Podcast This will fit into a corner of your day, delivering a well explained concept critical to the knowledge required to pass the FRCA Primary Exam! This is relevant to anyone in the world interested in these pharmacological, physiological, clinical, physical and chemical concepts, naturally it is flavoured towards UK practice. Episodes will be (mostly) succinct, conceptually specific, and exam material focussed. Notes on gasgasgas.uk All content is my personal opinion, not medical advice and is never a substitute for formal education / training

This episode focuses on drawing comparisons between the different volatile anaesthetic agents
Shownotes @ : https://gasgasgas.uk/gasgasgas-comparing-volatiles/
Specifically : Comparisons between the blood gas partition coefficient their oil gas partition coefficient the boiling points and saturated vapour pressure differences and we’re going to define those two points a little bit and then also thinking about their global warming potential as well as the differences that a patient may experience.

Today we're covering more volatiles, thinking a bit more about the defining characteristics of volatiles and exploring MAC, Minimum alveolar concentration.
Including Mac BAR and Mac Awake - and what you really need to aim for to make sure no one remembers having their insides rummaged about in by a surgeon!

Talking Thiopentone, the bits needed for the exam and the practical bits of when it might get used (rarely, unless the boss happens to be from the 1940's) or you're doing obstetrics.

This episode explores how volatile anaesthetics behave and affect patients.
Shownotes @: https://gasgasgas.uk/gasgasgas-compartmentalised-volatiles-and-a-brief-jaunt-with-sevoflurane/
Chiefly thinking about how the compartments in a breathing circuit and patient interplay to achieve depth / maintain anaesthetic depth and emerge from anesthesia.
Absolutely worth a listen to get your head around compartments and also starting thinking about blood gas and oil gas partition coefficients
VOLATILE AGENTS, SEVOFLURANE, ANAESTHETIC GASES, SATURATED VAPOUR PRESSURE, BOILING POINT, BLOOD GAS PARTITION CO-EFFICIENT.

This primary FRCA podcast episode introduces clearance and then descends into bedlam trying to think about how the liver really clears drugs on a kinetics level.
Shownotes @: https://gasgasgas.uk/gasgasgas-hepatic-clearance/
I am not making you run for the hills by talking phase 1 and 2 metabolism, CYP and all that jazz, that's for later.
