Research published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia suggested that there are nearly 3 million general anesthesia procedures in the UK each year.  You might already be aware that there are various different types of anesthesia: local, which numbs a small area of the body; regional, which numbs a larger part; and general, typically used for major or lengthy surgeries, where the patient is completely asleep. Today we're going to be talking specifically about general anesthesia. How exactly does it knock patients unconscious then? How does it affect the brain? Isn't it dangerous? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Why should you be happy to see spiders in your home? How do you build up your brain power?

In this episode of the PRS Global Open Keynotes podcast, Dr. Jean Paul Brutus and Dr. Donald Lalonde discuss what you should and shouldn't say not only during surgery under local anaesthesia, but also before and after surgery.  Plastic surgery procedures performed under local anaesthesia have demonstrated improved efficiency, cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction. But having a wide-awake patient hearing everything going on the operating room certainly changes the dynamic of the conversations being had.   This episode discusses the following PRS Global Open article: “Words to Avoid During Wide-awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet Surgery to Enhance Patient Experience” by Jean Paul Brutus, Natasha Barone, Kira Stolberg, Patricia Russell, and Donald H.

Recorded at Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) in London last year this presentation is part of a series of talks given under the session heading: “Implementation – what works and what doesn't?”. This piece is part one of four, with two more presentations to come and then a fascinating panel discussion to conclude. This first session focuses on the implementation of clinical trials, covering research methodologies, clinical implementations, and their challenges, and looking at the lengthy process of translating medical discoveries into clinical practice, emphasizing the ethical obligation to disseminate trial results effectively. The under-representation of certain demographics in trials, the gap between research findings and clinical practice, and the need for better communication strategies is stressed alongside solutions, including training for researchers, involving key stakeholders from the start, and the role of funders in supporting effective dissemination and implementation of research findings. Our presenter is, Joyce Yeung, Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Warwick. She is Theme Lead of the Emergency, Prehospital, Perioperative and Critical Care Trials group within Warwick Clinical Trials Unit. Clinically she holds appointments as a Consultant in Critical Care Medicine at University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. Joyce is Director of UK Perioperative Medicine Clinical Trials Network. She is joint Clinical Speciality Lead for Anaesthesia, Perioperative Medicine and Pain for West Midlands Comprehensive Research Network. She is also the Chair of Resuscitation Council UK Immediate Life Support Subcommittee and is a member of Scientific and Education Committee at European Resuscitation Council. She serves as expert systematic reviewer and International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation taskforce member. Joyce is Chief Investigator for a major grant examining the impact of volatile versus intravenous anaesthesia in non-cardiac surgery (VITAL trial). Her research interests are applied health research and clinical trials including improving perioperative patient outcomes, chronic pain, post-operative cognitive dysfunction, and resuscitation.

In this piece we cover frailty in perioperative and end-of-life care, the assessment of frailty, the challenges of clinical momentum, multidisciplinary team meetings, and the importance of palliative approaches. The conversation also delves into the trajectories at the end of life and the impact of electronic medical records in automating frailty measurement. The episode concludes with reflections on living a healthy life and the dignity of end-of-life care. This piece comes from our coverage of the Perioperative Medicine Special Interest Group Meeting in Melbourne, Australia. Presented by Kate Leslie and Desiree Chappell with their guests Jai Darvall, Associate Professor, anaesthetist and intensive care specialist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia, where he is co-lead of the perioperative medicine service within the Department of Anaesthesia and Pain Management; and Chuan-Whei Lee, anaesthetist and pain medicine specialist at Royal Melbourne Hospital, and joint clinical lead of perioperative medicine in the Department of Anaesthesia and Pain Management, clinical senior lecturer in the Department of Critical Care, University of Melbourne; and supervisor of training for the Faculty of Pain Medicine, ANZCA.

Stuart Hameroff MD is Professor of Anesthesiology and Psychology, and Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Hameroff became interested in intelligent behavior of microtubules, protein lattices which organize activities within living cells. Hameroff and colleagues developed theories of microtubules as self-organizing molecular computers. In the 1990s Hameroff teamed with Sir Roger Penrose on the controversial Penrose-Hameroff "Orch OR" model of consciousness based on quantum computing in brain neuronal microtubules, a notion bolstered by recent evidence. Hameroff also organizes the biennial interdisciplinary conferences, The Science of Consciousness Conference. The Science of Consciousness (‘TSC') conference is the world's longest running inter-disciplinary gathering on the study of consciousness, the nature of existence, and our place in the universe. In 2025 TSC will be in Barcelona, Spain, July 6-11 (Workshops, Plenaries, Concurrents, Exhibits, Demos, Social, Poetry Slam, Dancing - AC Marriott Forum Hotel), preceding and in conjunction with The Festival of Consciousness, July 11-13 (Music, Art, Experiential, Inspiration, Spirituality, Education, Business, Evolution). Speakers include: Sir Roger Penrose, Donald Hoffman, Robert Lawrence Kuhn, Rupert Sheldrake, Deepak Chopra, Federico Faggin, Anirban Bandyopadhyay, and many others.

POV: You're trying to decide if your patient is fit to go ahead with surgery, and you're about to call the anaesthetics team but you stop and think - "I wonder how they make that decision?". WELL DO WE HAVE NEWS FOR YOU! This week Alex is joined by consultant anaesthetist Dr. Lahiru Amaratunge, of the ABCs of Anaesthesia podcast, to take a deep dive into how much anaesthetists come to that decision, and how much they love morning coffee.

The next patient on your elective list arrives in theatre. She is a 35 year old woman booked for hysteroscopy to investigate her menorrhagia. She has no co-morbidities so wasn't seen preoperatively in a clinic. She tells you that she has no medical problems but did start on Wegovy for weight loss about 4months ago and has now lost about 12kg. She hasn't eaten anything since 9pm last night - it is now 10am. You were planning a general anaesthetic and a supra-glottic device, but now you're not sure what you should do? Hi everyone, This week I am joined by Erin and we discuss in detail the perplexing topic of GLP1 receptor agonists. These new wonder weight loss drugs seem to be all the rage and certainly things look rosy if you have shares in Novo Nordisk (the manufacturer). However they are not so great if you provide anaesthesia.... We discuss their relationship with delayed gastric emptying and the risk of aspiration. References ANZCA GLP1 clinical practice recommendation June 2024 ASA consensus based guidance on preoperative management of GLP1 agonists Feb 2024 Gastricultrasound.org. - This is the best resource available (our humble opinion) if you want to upskill yourself to be able to assess the contents of the stomach. ANZCA clinical practice recommendation summary - June 2024 see below

Your patient arrives in the anaesthetic room next to theatre, she's booked for a non elective caesarean for failure to progress. She has an epidural in situ and you decide try to top it up - however after 25ml of lignocaine 2% with adrenaline and around 20min of waiting the block is stuck at the umbilicus and she can still move her legs relatively freely. This is obviously not going to be adequate - she is adamant she wants to be awake to see her baby born. You sit her up, pull out the epidural and do a single shot spinal with 2.1ml of heavy bupivacaine 0.5% + fentanyl 15mcg - after all you don't want this block to fail as well! You clean her back, lie her down and turn to talk to the midwife. When you turn back to the patient 30s later she looks a little purple and isn't breathing....... Hi everyone join Graeme and I this week as we discuss total spinal anaesthesia - a fascinating but somewhat scary rare emergency which can occur when we use regional anaesthesia in obstetric practice. A big shout out to the team from Rotunda Hospital in Dublin who wrote the recent narrative review published in IJOA on this topic!

Recorded at the 7th Collaborative Clinical Trials in Anaesthesiology Conference, Prato, Italy this piece is a conversation about the current hot topics and research in Anaesthesia. Desiree Chappell speaks with Kate Leslie, Professor, specialist anaesthetist and head of research in the Department of Anaesthesia and Pain Management, Royal Melbourne Hospital, and honorary professorial fellow at the University of Melbourne and Monash University in Australia.

There is scant scientific evidence that compounds found in nightshade vegetables—such as tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplants—aggravate the pain and inflammation of arthritis. However, some people with arthritis feel that eating nightshades make their condition worse...and decades of research by a horticulture professor at Rutgers University may explain why. Listen in this week as Dee dives into the science behind the connection and examines whether nightshades truly contribute to inflammation and joint pain. References:Childers N.F., & Margoles M.S.

In this World Shared Practice Forum Podcast, Drs. Adrienne Randolph and Aaron Bodansky explore the groundbreaking research findings that uncover the pathophysiological mechanism behind multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). These findings shed light on the characteristic immune response of patients who develop MIS-C, and provide insight into the development of post-infectious auto-immune disease phenotypes. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - Describe the pathophysiology of MIS-C, including the clinical features and molecular immune response - Describe the immune dysregulation that results in MIS-C, including the role of autoantibodies and T-cell responses - Identify the potential connections between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the development of autoimmune responses - Recognize the implications of the study findings for other related conditions such as long COVID and sepsis AUTHORS Adrienne Randolph, MD, MSc Senior Associate in Critical Care Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain Medicine Boston Children's Hospital Professor of Anaesthesia and Pediatrics Harvard Medical School Aaron Bodansky, MD Assistant Professor Pediatric Critical Care University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine DATES Initial publication: September 24, 2024.

In this episode of Join the Docs, Professor Jonathan Sackier and Dr. Nigel Guest dive into the surprisingly hilarious and sometimes cringe-worthy history and evolution of anaesthesia, affectionately dubbed "the surgeon's best buddy." The Docs take us on a wild ride from the days when biting a bullet was considered a viable pain relief method to the sophisticated modern techniques involving sedatives, analgesics, and muscle relaxants that we rely on today. With their signature blend of wit and wisdom, The Docs ensure that even the squeamish will be laughing along, making this episode a real gas.Who knew that the journey to painless surgery could be so entertaining? The episode shines a spotlight on key historical figures like Sir James Simpson, the brave soul who decided that inhaling chloroform might be a breath of fresh air—and lived to tell the tale! His pioneering work paved the way for the development of specialised anaesthetists, those unsung heroes who ensure that we can snooze through surgeries without a care in the world. It's a real knockout!Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be a fly on the wall during the early days of anaesthesia experimentation? Through a series of laugh-out-loud stories, The Docs recount the often bizarre and occasionally disastrous attempts at pain relief before the advent of modern anaesthesia. From ancient herbal concoctions that were more likely to put you under permanently than temporarily, to the trial-and-error approach of early anaesthetists, the episode is a rollercoaster of historical hijinks. By the end, you'll have a newfound appreciation for the crucial role anaesthesia plays in making surgeries not just bearable, but downright dreamy. So, why is anaesthesia considered the unsung hero of the medical world? Jonathan and Nigel make it clear that without anaesthesia, the world of surgery would be a much scarier place. They emphasise how this miraculous medical advancement has transformed surgeries from nightmarish ordeals into routine procedures, all while keeping us in stitches—both literally and figuratively. Tune in for a dose of history, a dash of humour, and a whole lot of appreciation for the magic of anaesthesia. It's an episode that will leave you breathless with laughter and gratitude!—--DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed on Join the Docs are those of Dr. Nigel Guest, Jonathan Sackier and other people on our show.

Guideline evolution is driven by ongoing research; recent studies like PeriOperative ISchemic Evaluation-3 Trial (POISE-3) and trials such as OPtimisation of Peri-operaTive CardIovascular Management to Improve Surgical outcomE II (OPTIMISE II) trial may influence recommendations on hemodynamic management and the use of tranexamic acid. Future guidelines are expected to integrate machine learning models for risk prediction, addressing complex patient phenotypes and interactions. Discontinuation vs. continuation of renin–angiotensin system inhibition before non-cardiac surgery: the SPACE trial has challenged existing practices regarding the discontinuation of ACE inhibitors or ARBs, highlighting the dynamic nature of medical guidelines and the continuous incorporation of new evidence to enhance patient care.

What's the best way to pre-oxygenate our patients prior to intubation? The evidence for this question has been mixed for some time. Dr Jarvis discusses the PREOXI Trial that directly compares preoxygenation with non-invasive ventilation compared to face mask, to see which provides the best protection against peri-intubation hypoxia. This is an important trial that sheds light on a key component of our bundle of care to make intubation safer.Citations:Gibbs KW, Semler MW, Driver BE, Seitz KP, Stempek SB, Taylor C, Resnick-Ault D, White HD, Gandotra S, Doerschug KC, et al.: Noninvasive Ventilation for Preoxygenation during Emergency Intubation.
