This Podcast for the FRCA Primary Exam is the first part in a series covering the multi compartmental mode. It Introduces Half-lives and Time Constants, how they bear out influencing clearance and offset times and bi-exponential decay.

Welcome to the first episode the straight up emulates the viva (bar the drawing). This crack at interview style podcast covers sterilisation and cleaning of medical equipment, one of the many viva curveballs!

This episode focuses on drawing comparisons between the different volatile anaesthetic agents 

Shownotes @ : https://gasgasgas.uk/gasgasgas-comparing-volatiles/

Specifically : Comparisons between the blood gas partition coefficient their oil gas partition coefficient the boiling points and saturated vapour pressure differences and we’re going to define those two points a little bit and then also thinking about their global warming potential as well as the differences that a patient may experience.

Today were covering more volatiles, thinking a bit more about the defining characteristics of volatiles and exploring MAC, Minimum alveolar concentration.
