Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nitrous Oxide: Anaesthetic Mechanisms, B12 Toxicity and Safe Storage
Q: In addition to its use as an anaesthetic agent, what is a correct statement regarding nitrous oxide?
It interferes with the function of vitamin B12, leading to impairment in DNA synthesis.
Gas Gas Gas - Compartmentalised Volatiles and a brief jaunt with Sevoflurane
Q: Why does FRC play a role in onset time of volatile anaesthetic?
A patient with a high FRC has a greater lung volume to maintain a high concentration of anesthetic, thus influencing onset time.
Gas Gas Gas - Compartmentalised Volatiles and a brief jaunt with Sevoflurane
Q: What influences the onset time of volatile anesthetic agents?
Onset time is reliant on the concentration delivered, fresh gas administered, circuit size, patient lung factors, and cardiovascular state.
Volume of Distribution (Vd): Pharmacokinetics for FRCA Exam
Q: Doctor, what do you understand about volume of distribution and how might it influence drug choice?
Volume of distribution is the apparent volume a drug rapidly ends up in or diffuses into at administration. It can help calculate drug dosage to achieve a specific plasma concentration.
Ketamine: NMDA Mechanisms, Pharmacology, Clinical use thoughts
Q: What drugs can you think of that interact with this NMDA receptor?
The chief drug that comes to mind is ketamine, which acts as a non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist.
