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.

Dr Luca Turin is a biophysicist, writer, and perfume connoisseur whose work on fragrances seems to suggest that we don't smell molecules, per se - we smell the complex vibrations of an atomic structure. Turin came to be convinced of this model for olfaction at the expense of the standard model of receptors binding smell molecules just on the basis of their shape due to a prediction he made about the smell of sulfur. If the pungent odor of rotten eggs and brimstone was due to the vibrational frequency of the sulfur atom attached to the molecule, then any other atom with a similar vibrational frequency, no matter its shape, should also smell of sulfur. He found a compatible molecule in an unexpected place, and the rest fell into place. We talk about his nascent passion for perfumes, why people are so reluctant to smell things, and the overlap between smell, resonance, and consciousness.

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?

This week, join Simon on a deep dive through time into the evolution and possible origins of neurodiversity. From the ancient wisdom of neurodivergent shamans to the brilliant minds of Einstein, Darwin, and van Gogh, we'll uncover the hidden stories of how neurodiversity has been shaping our world in unexpected ways.But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. We'll also explore the dark side of how society has often misunderstood and marginalized those who think differently, and how the fight for neurodiversity acceptance is still an ongoing battle.1.

National Council on Severe Autism Webinar, February 15, 2024, featuring: Jill Escher, Escher Fund for Autism Walter Zahorodny, PhD, Rutgers University This webinar examines the most important and poorly understood phenomenon in autism — the sharply escalating rates over the past several decades. The speakers explain: • The overwhelming evidence for a true increase in autism in the U.S., including specifically California (Escher) and New Jersey (Zahorodny), an increase that is likely between 2,000-5,500% • The evidence for a true increase in other high-income countries (and lower rates in lower-income countries) • The lack of evidence for commensurate autism rates in older birth cohorts • The flaws in the arguments that certain studies (eg, Hansen or Brugha) show there has been no increase in autism • Autism rates are still increasing, and no one understands why • The tired, unsupported rationalizations that the autism increase stems from awareness and diagnostic shifts • An emerging hypothesis that could help explain at least part of the surge, and the 6 key findings from autism research • The reasons for widespread denial of the increase in autism Links: JillEscher.com EscherFund.org Autism Epidemic, Autism Research, Autism Genetics, Autism Epigenetics, CDC ADDM Network, Developmental Disabilities, Aspergers, Autistic Disorder, Gene-Environment Interaction, Heritable Impacts of General Anesthesia, Sevoflurane

Those few precious minutes in the Preoperative area spent speaking with a patient and their significant others are essential to the initiation of a successful anesthetic, as is the “vibe” generated during the entire time until the induction agent for General Anesthesia goes in.  What are the keys to success? We speak with Dr. Phil Jones, a cardiac anesthesiologist now in Toronto, Canada, who nearly trained as an actor in Britain before enrolling in Medicine studies at Cambridge. He was a consultant in Anesthesia and Critical Care Medicine at the prestigious St. Bart's Hospital in London. He is passionate about this topic, and about the importance of communication to improve the patient's perioperative experience. Follow Dr. Jones (@philjones6) and Dr. Lin (@LudwigLin) on Twitter.

Abstract: Cortical electro-encephalography (EEG) has become the clinical reference for monitoring unconsciousness during general anesthesia. The current EEG-based monitors classify general anesthesia states simply as underdosed, adequate, or overdosed, with no transition phases among these states, and therefore no predictive power. To address the issue of transition phases, we analyzed EEG signal of isoflurane-induced general anesthesia in mice. We adopted a data-driven approach and utilized signal processing to track theta- and delta- band dynamics as well as iso-electric suppressions. By combining this approach with machine learning, we developed a fully-automated algorithm. We found that the dampening of the delta-band occurred several minutes before significant iso-electric suppression episodes. Additionally, we observed a distinct gamma-frequency oscillation that persisted for several minutes during the recovery phase following isoflurane-induced overdose. Finally, we constructed a map summarizing multiple states and their transitions which can be utilized to predict and prevent overdose during general anesthesia. The transition phases we identified and algorithm we developed may allow clinicians to prevent inadequate anesthesia, and thus individually tailor anesthetic regimens.

In November of 2021, the Regional versus General Anesthesia for Promoting Independence after Hip Fracture (REGAIN) trial was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. This study was a pragmatic randomized superiority trial to evaluate spinal anesthesia as compared with general anesthesia in 1,600 patients. The authors concluded that “spinal anesthesia for hip fracture surgery in older adults was not superior to general anesthesia with respect to survival and recovery of ambulation at 60 days.” In this month's RAPM Focus, Editor-in-Chief Brian Sites, MD, covers both angles of this story in a daring discourse with Alexander Stone, MD, lead author of “There remains a role for neuraxial anesthesia for hip fracture surgery in the post-REGAIN era,” published March 2023 (https://rapm.bmj.com/content/early/2023/03/27/rapm-2022-104071), and Eric Schwenk, MD, lead author of “General anesthesia is an acceptable choice for hip fracture surgery,” also published March 2023 (https://rapm.bmj.com/content/early/2023/03/27/rapm-2023-104454). Dr. Alexander Stone is an anesthesiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School. He completed his medical school at Johns Hopkins and his residency training at Brigham and Women's. He went on to complete a regional anesthesia and acute pain fellowship at Hospital for Special Surgery, before returning to Brigham as a faculty member. His research interests include expanding access to regional anesthesia through enhanced recovery program implementation, as well as collaborating with other specialties. Dr. Eric Schwenk completed a fellowship in regional anesthesia and acute pain at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in 2013 and has remained on staff as a faculty member. His research interests center on ketamine for migraine, perioperative ketamine, outcomes after orthopedic surgery, and challenging long-held dogmas in medicine. He has been an active speaker for ASRA Pain Medicine, is on the Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine editorial board, and is a co-author of the REGAIN study. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

General Anesthesia by Live 95.5

CHEST December 2022, Volume 162, Issue 6 Roberto F. Casal, MD, joins CHEST Podcast Host, Dominique Pepper, MD, to discuss ventilatory strategy during bronchoscopy. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chest.2022.06.045

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.11.30.518590v1?rss=1 Authors: Robledo-Sanchez, K. C. M., Ruiz-Suarez, J. C. Abstract: General anesthesia (GA) has been under scientific scrutiny since its discovery more than a century ago, resulting in conceptually different proposed mechanisms to explain its origin and operation. Two mechanisms stand out: the lipid and the protein hypothesis. The Meyer- Overton rule (the more anesthetics dissolve in octanol, the greater their action) backups the first hypothesis, while the ligand-receptor interaction, specifically on ion channels, sustains the second. A recent study on Drosophila melanogaster draws attention to the possibility that both paradigms come together to explain GA synergistically, with the important caveat that this hybrid mechanism lies in the existence of lipid rafts in which cholesterol plays an essential role. Using two model organisms, the water flea (D. magna) and the nematode C. elegans, we give a further step to clarify this puzzle by carrying out anesthetic experiments with xenon and nitrous oxide. First, the obtained dose-response curves are very steep, implying that Hill coefficients greater than one are needed to describe them correctly, supporting an unspecific action mechanism. Second, we show that the animals' response to both gases is influenced by a cholesterol diet modification, thus proving that this lipid promotes anesthetic induction. Our findings reenforce the idea that GA is driven by an allosteric induction rather than selective actions on single-target receptors. Copy rights belong to original authors.

The impact of the type of anesthesia on perioperative outcomes has been the subject of much debate. Observational data suggests that neuraxial anesthesia may provide benefits over general anesthesia, especially in the orthopedic population; however, it remains unclear if these benefits can be materialized in all subpopulations. In this month's RAPM Focus, Executive Editor Stavros Memtsoudis, MD, PhD, interviews Edward Yap, MD, the first author of “Neuraxial and general anesthesia for outpatient total joint arthroplasty result in similarly low rates of major perioperative complications: a multicentered cohort study,” first published online in January 2022 (https://rapm.bmj.com/content/47/5/294). The study used introspective data from cases performed in 21 centers in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California system between 2017-2019, with the primary goal to compare perioperative outcomes between procedures performed with neuraxial anesthesia and general anesthesia. Dr. Yap is a senior physician and anesthesiologist with the Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco Medical Group and a volunteer assistant professor with the University of California San Francisco. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

Sedation Dentistry is a mild to moderate level of sedation used to assist dental patients with attaining a temporary insensitivity to pain while remaining conscious. Typically, this is used for lengthier procedures and is also found to be very beneficial for patients that suffer from anxiety about having dental work done. It is also offered to minimize the amount of pain felt during a procedure. For lengthier or more painful procedures such as root canals, it is always recommended. The Florida Board of Dentistry allows dentists to administer a small dose of oral sedation without having advanced training or permitting. A single dose of a medicine is allowed up to the maximum dosage per patient weight. Dentists are also allowed to supplement with nitrous oxide. This is considered “minimal sedation”. Formal advanced training in sedation is required to administer “moderate sedation”. This is done through an internship or an approved course. Dental professionals must complete 60 hours of didactic instruction on a minimum of 20 patients, and an inspection of the office must be performed including a demonstration of an emergency drill before any permit is issued with the Board of Dentistry. To administer “deep sedation” or general anesthesia, a dentist must complete a residency in General Anesthesia an receive a permit from the Board of Dentistry. Pediatric sedation requires a completely separate permit and training requirements.

Kayla shares her story on this episode of the podcast.  The story begins with her and her husband Jordan conceiving after about 5 months of trying.  The pregnancy went generally well but she struggled with nausea and vomiting and ended up being diagnosed with Gestational Hypertension early on in the pregnancy.  Although some care providers had talked about induction very early on, she was able to avoid it until the very end of her pregnancy.  They did end up inducing Kayla around her due date and she goes into detail about the lengthy process which ultimately ended in a c-section and her needing to be fully put under general anesthesia.  She then shares the next intense part of the story involving her son having breathing issues and needing to be flown to a NICU in another city with her husband while she had to stay behind.  & HappinessJoin & Happiness on our quest to explore the bold question "what makes us happy?"

This one is a doozy folks. We've watched some weird movies before but this might be the darkest and weirdest yet. From Yorgos Lanthimos comes The Killing of a Sacred Deer. A story of love, loss and the importance of family. Can one man do what needs to be done to protect his family? Can we ever really escape our past? These questions don't get answered in the episode, but I thought they fit well with the theme of the movie. Enjoy!
