This is a brief episode discussing the pathology of malignant hyperthermia. While hopefully we don't encounter this problem clinically, it is important to recognize the early warning signs and understand the emergent treatment. 

This discussion outlines the anatomy and physiology of the neuromuscular junction. This discussion is the foundation of understanding neuromuscular blocking agents. We also discuss several neuromuscular diseases and their special considerations for anesthesia management. 

Today's discussion covers the transduction, transmission, perception, and modulation of the pain pathway. With this understanding, we briefly discuss some common modalities used to treat pain. 

Today's episode lays the groundwork for understanding regional anesthesia. This discussion covers the basic anatomy of nerves and the chemical structures of local anesthetics used to provide regional anesthesia. 

This discussion provides a basic overview of the anesthesia machine. Here we discuss the high, intermediate, and low pressure systems of the anesthesia machine along with a quick overview of circuits. 

Discussing the various pathways involved with PONV and the medications and anesthetic strategies we use to prevent PONV  

Laparoscopic surgeries are commonly performed within the OR. Creating a pneumoperitoneum during this procedure can have implications for the anesthesia team. This episode will discuss common complications associated with the use of a pneumoperitoneum.
