Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
VivaCast Round Two - Heparin and Propofol
Q: What is propofol infusion syndrome and how is it managed?
Propofol infusion syndrome is a serious complication from prolonged high-rate propofol infusions, characterized by hemodynamic instability, metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, and hyperkalemia; management is supportive, stopping propofol, fluids, and ensuring hypnosis with alternatives if needed.
VivaCast Round Two - Heparin and Propofol
Q: How would you reverse unfractionated heparin in a bleeding patient?
The fastest approach is protamine, which directly antagonizes heparin, or alternatively administer coagulation factors to rebalance hemostasis.
