| 5/18/25 | S10 Ep. 2: Keep bleeding (DOACs), re-release | Today, we revisit a topic that was recommended to us by Dr David Tragen of the Sunshine Coast University Hospital - the perioperative management of the direct oral anticoagulant medications or DOACs.

| 4/27/25 | S10 Ep. 1: Why (Oesophageal intubation), re-release | In today's episode, we revisit challenges in the diagnosis and management of oesophageal intubation and anaesthetic crises in general. Recognising an oesophageal intubation may seem simple, but by looking at coroner's cases both here in Australia and in the UK, as well as cases in the NAP4, it can be far more complex.

During this episode, we discuss metaraminol, ephedrine, phenylephrine, noradrenaline and adrenaline. There's one section of our episode where we thought it important to clarify what we're saying, as to out ears it sounds a little confusing. During our discussion about adrenaline, we state that both noradrenaline and adrenaline have the same affinity f... | 15m 06s | ||||||
| 6/9/24 | S8 Ep. 10: True trans soul rebel (Anaesthesia for transgender and gender diverse adults) | Today, we discuss a 2023 BJA Education article titled 'Perioperative care for transgender and gender diverse adults'. We start with a discussion of words and terms that are useful to understand, before diving in to discussions about a trauma-informed care approach to minimise and hopefully eradicate negative preoperative experiences, physical, chemical and surgical options for gender affirmation, and lastly how this can inform the provision of safe anaesthesia for transgender patients. ... | 24m 22s | ||||||
