  • ACCRAC saved me in anesthesia school

    I’m in CRNA school, and I have been listening to this podcast for the past 2.5 years. I’m planning on re-listening most of the episodes for board prepping in the next few months. I love the core concepts breakdown and board question strategies. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & expertise.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 341: Office Based Anesthesia Airway Emergencies with Drs. El-Mowafy and Tobis
Q: How do you overcome fixation errors during an airway crisis in the office setting?
We emphasize ruling out the worst-case scenarios first, accepting that our initial assumption might be wrong, using checklists to guide a systematic response, avoiding cognitive bias by involving the whole team, and escalating to hospital-based resources when needed.
Episode 340: Keywords Part 35: Respiratory Physiology
Q: Question six asks about the physiologic response to CO2 insufflation during laparoscopy.
Transpulmonary pressure rise reduces lung compliance and increases VQ mismatch, leading to decreased arterial oxygenation.
Episode 340: Keywords Part 35: Respiratory Physiology
Q: Question one asks which peripheral nerve is most commonly injured in general anesthesia.
The ulnar nerve is most commonly injured due to lack of protection in the ulnar groove.
Episode 330: Keywords Part 33 Neuroanatomy
Q: Question five, a lateral disc herniation between L2 and L3 would affect which spinal nerve?
The L2 nerve root would be impinged, given the exiting pattern of nerve roots relative to the vertebral levels in the lumbar spine.
Episode 330: Keywords Part 33 Neuroanatomy
Q: Question four, which brain area is likely involved in serotonin storm syndrome?
Hypothalamic preoptic area is the most likely region implicated, given its role in autonomic regulation and temperature control.
