It is our privilege to welcome  Dr. Gonzalez onto the podcast. Dr. Gonzalez has published extensively in the last few years on safety during upper endoscopy and we are confident you'll appreciate his discussions with us over the next two episodes. 

This episode builds on episode 77 so make sure you start there! In this episode, we discuss many of the common medications which work within the ANS. 

In this episode we discuss the receptors and neurotransmitters involved in the ANS. We talk through the adrenergic and muscarinic pathways as well as the reflexes involved with the ANS. Make sure you catch part two for the whole discussion!

This episode starts with the basics of CIEDs and discusses the codes and functions of implanted cardiac devices. After we review these basics, we then talk about the patient considerations and the anesthetic management of patients with CIEDs.

In this episode we briefly discuss the A&P of the liver before discussing some common disease processes and how our anesthetic management should consider liver function.

If you haven't listened to our first episode, make sure you start there! To access our premium episodes find us on patreon and subscribe! In this episode we discuss different laws from Pv=nRT to Dalton's law to the Coanda effect and more. It is packed full of information that could be easy questions on your boards. 

Today's episode stopped just short of constructing the atom in 7th grade science class. Much of this information is basic review material but this is all fair game for boards! A clear understanding of the types of bonds, their relative strength, and how things like pressure and temperature affect substances is low hanging fruit for your board exam. 

Today is another "real talk" episode! In this episode we discuss tips we have used to form successful relationships with your clinical preceptors. Moving around to different facilities can be challenging but there are ways you can set yourself up for a great clinical day. Make sure to follow us on instagram for all of our latest content and announcements. 

Pressure control vs volume control? SIMV, PSV-Pro, PCV-VG? Sounds scary! Don't worry, in this episode we describe each of these modes and more as we talk about which ventilator settings you might want to use during your cases. 

This episode picks up right where we left off on episode 69. We discuss going on pump and how you will manage your patient as you transition of pump and prepare to transfer to the ICU. Every case is different, but hopefully E69 and E70 will help you visualize the main steps of open heart anesthetics.
