  • Relax the voice

    Good Topics and Content.

    “Keys to the Cart” difficult to listen to. Podcast speakers sound stiff and non-fluent. It sounds like a non-medical person reading content off cue cards or out of a medical textbook.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Article of the Month – January 2026 – Jill Mhyre and Ilana Sebbag
Q: What are the key takeaways for listeners?
Hydromorphone is an effective alternative to morphine without increasing complications and is indicated where morphine is unavailable due to shortages.
Article of the Month – January 2026 – Jill Mhyre and Ilana Sebbag
Q: What did you find at 24 hours post-op?
The mean pain score difference between hydromorphone and morphine was minus 0.46, indicating that hydromorphone users reported slightly less pain, meeting non-inferiority criteria.
Article of the Month – January 2026 – Jill Mhyre and Ilana Sebbag
Q: Can you talk about the utility of hydromorphone as a potential alternative to morphine, and why did you decide to compare them?
We decided to compare these two drugs mainly because of supply chain fragility, as medication shortages of morphine prompted the need for alternatives.
Article of the Month – January 2026 – Peter Goldstein and David Obert
Q: So is the trajectory a biomarker for the brain at risk?
Yes, if you cannot get the brain into a state of flow of anesthesia, it's a sign for a vulnerable brain.
Article of the Month – January 2026 – Peter Goldstein and David Obert
Q: What do those terms mean for the listeners?
The trajectories defined by the EEG patterns correlate with different risks for post-anesthesia cognitive disorders.
