Count to 10 - Anaesthetic Primary Podcast

EP16 – NMJ & Suxamethonium | MiniPod | CT10


Listen Later

Today’s "MiniPod" discussion went a bit longer than expected and I covered the Neuromuscular Junction and Suxamethonium. I broke the NMJ physiology into three sections, firstly looking at acetylcholine itself, then the pathway of the action potential across the NMJ and lastly the types of ACH receptors (01:19). Then for the first time on this pod we discuss the pharmacology of a drug, looking at the pharmaceutics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of Sux (14:59). After covering these core topics, I look at the past SAQs with a big focus on the adverse effects of Sux (23:03). As always, we finish by reviewing some opening viva stems with today’s focus being broad opening answers (31:30). I hope you enjoy the Podcast and if you have any questions please email me! As always thank you for listening!
