  • 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 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.
Episode 330: Keywords Part 33 Neuroanatomy
Q: Question three, a lesion in which area can cause contralateral weakness after a thromboembolic stroke?
Pre-central gyrus (primary motor cortex) is the most likely area responsible for contralateral weakness; cerebellum lesions typically cause ipsilateral coordination problems.
Episode 330: Keywords Part 33 Neuroanatomy
Q: Question two, which criteria are not present in both a post-anesthesia discharge scoring system and an already scoring system?
Nausea and vomiting are often considered in PACU settings but not part of both discharge scoring systems, whereas blood pressure and activity levels are usually more integral to these scoring schemas.
Episode 330: Keywords Part 33 Neuroanatomy
Q: Question one, reduced activity in which brainstem structure is associated with reduced consciousness?
The locus coeruleus is linked to reduced consciousness when its activity decreases, while the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus promotes sleep, making the pattern of activation versus suppression crucial for interpreting test questions.
