A brief overview of ultrasound mechanics and the blocks involving the brachial plexus. We discuss the inter-scalene block, supra-clavicular block, infra-clavicular block, and the axillary block. 

Monitors! Pulse oximetry, BP, BIS, ETCO2, CVP and more. In this episode we discuss these various monitors, their methods of measurement, and the physiology behind their waveforms. 

Today's discussion focuses on GI, spine, and ophthalmic abnormalities which may need to be emergently managed in the pediatric population. Topics include myelomeningocele, TEF, NEC, pyloric stenosis, omphalocele, gastroschisis and more.

In today's episode we discuss the circulation in utero and several heart defects and the associated physiology. Be sure to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Today we lay the groundwork for the next several episodes. It is important to understand the different physiological values for the pediatric population so we can appropriately manage their care. The next several episodes we will discuss specific considerations and build off of this groundwork. 

Today's discussion focuses on the fluid compartments within the body, and how we manipulate fluid shifts to promote hemostasis. In this episode we also discuss administration of blood products and some complications which may arise.
