Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Vasopressin and its pals
Q: A 39-year-old female in septic shock on noradrenaline is started on vasopressin as a second agent. What is the most important action of vasopressin in this context? A) stimulation of V1 receptors to increase water resorption and plasma volume; B) stimulation of V2 receptors to increase water resorption and plasma volume; C) stimulating V1 receptors to induce vasoconstriction; D) stimulating V2 receptors to induce vasoconstriction; E) none of the above.
C) stimulating V1 receptors to induce vasoconstriction, which increases systemic vascular resistance and supports blood pressure in vasopressor-refractory scenarios.
VivaCast Shyam Grapples with Labour Ward
Q: How would you talk a labouring patient through pain relief options and consent for an epidural?
Start with building rapport and explaining your role, then gather history (allergies, medications, coagulation), discuss non-pharmacological options, and present pharmacological options with their fetal and maternal considerations, finishing with a clear explanation of risks (common, rare, extremely rare) and what would be done to mitigate them.
VivaCast Round 2 - Physiology fun Ft. Shyam (who passed!)
Q: Break down the structure of the autonomic nervous system for me, please.
The autonomic nervous system divides into sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric components, each with its own ganglionic architecture and post-ganglionic fibers; sympathetic tends to prepare the body for 'fight or flight' while parasympathetic supports 'rest and digest,' with the enteric system governing the gut's intrinsic functions.
VivaCast Round 2 - Clinical station - Paeds Appendix + Bronchospasm!
Q: What would your approach to consent be in this situation?
Discuss the case with both the patient (as appropriate for age) and guardians, ensuring the patient's assent is considered while obtaining formal consent from guardians; in this scenario, both parents being present is ideal, and the clinician may assess the patient's capacity to participate in the discussion.
Vivacast Round Two - Physiology of pregnancy, Peri partum emergencies and cardiac risk
Q: Can you describe to me the physiological changes associated with pregnancy?
The host prompts for a breakdown by organ system, highlighting increases in cardiac output, partial respiratory alkalosis, airway edema, and a relative hemodilution with a prothrombotic state, while noting changes in renal and hepatic function that impact anesthetic planning.
