    Wonderful podcast, the most high yield study one can do whilst out on a run/cooking dinner/taking notes.

    Thanks to all the brave candidates.

    Lahiru, so appreciative of what you do! Would love it if some of your other videos from YouTube were also available to listen to as podcast episodes... makes it so much easier to stay healthy/active and not waste time!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

An Advanced Approach to Airway Assessment with Dr Rani
Q: Can you give an example of how this framework changes a clinical decision in a real case?
In a case with a head-and-neck mass, the five-domain assessment revealed positive pathology, functional issues, and contextual factors. The team chose an awake, camera-assisted strategy with dedicated oxygenation and a reconstituted team, illustrating how risk-driven planning alters the approach from routine to non-routine when necessary.
Minimising IV Cannulation Waste
Q: Why do anesthesia teams often adopt a minimal approach to cannulation, and how does that differ from ward practices?
Anesthesia tends to favor a more controlled, smaller-pack setup to minimize waste, while ward practices have historically used larger, more comprehensive packs due to safety and workflow culture; the discussion suggests the minimal approach can be just as safe with thoughtful infection control, and it substantially reduces waste and CO2.
Follow Future Anaesthesia! - Interview with Dr Tany
Q: How did you go about liaising with other groups like DEA, Medical Pantry, Climart, etc., to get this project off the ground?
I focused on clear communication and pitched a concrete plan, aligning with each organization's values and offering to fill knowledge gaps while being explicit about what I needed and where I could ask for help.
Follow Future Anaesthesia! - Interview with Dr Tany
Q: Amazing. How did you actually end up in the sustainability space?
The catalyst was the Wattle Fellowship in 2024, which incubated ideas and allowed me to merge medicine, art, and sustainability into an actionable project.
Follow Future Anaesthesia! - Interview with Dr Tany
Q: So let's get into it. Firstly, welcome to the podcast. And can you start off by telling us a bit about your background?
I'm a junior doctor who makes art and cares about climate change, with experience in community organizations and a commitment to using art as a health and climate advocacy tool.
