In this episode, we discuss the pharmacology of oxygen, the physics behind oxygen sensors in the ventilator and the mechanism of oxygen delivery. 

In this episode, we discuss the anatomy of brainstem reflexes along with the pharmacology of mannitol, phenytoin and levetiracetam.

In this episode, we discuss the modified Pomodoro technique for bedside Primary exam preparation. We examine the neurointensive care patient to discuss the anatomy of CSF production, Cerebral blood flow regulation and physics of ICP monitoring.

In this episode, we discuss the modified Pomodoro technique to help Primary candidates prepare for their exams during daily bedside ward rounds. 3 questions were discussed in this episode - Pulse oximeter, Comparison between Noradrenaline and vasopressin, and physiological effects of hypoxia.

Join us in the latest episode of ICU Primary Prepcast, where Dr Mike Clifford and I discuss how every ICU trainee can prepare for their primary exams on their day to day ward rounds. We suggest using the modified Pomodoro technique i.e - 3 questions at one-bed space per day (25 min total) - One question about the pharmacology of one of the drugs that the patient is currently on - one question about the monitor attached to the patient - one question about the physiology related to that particular patient. In this podcast we discuss - Physics principle of arterial waveform analysis Pharmacokinetic properties of Midazolam Effect of PEEP on CVS physiology.

In this episode, Mike Clifford and I discuss how to answer some of the probing vivas. 

In this episode, we explore how the college examiner designs the viva and explores the knowledge on cerebral blood flow and NMDA receptors. 

In this episode, college examiner Dr Mike Clifford walks us through the metathinking of constructing vivas and the examiner's expectations with the real-time demonstration. 

In this episode, Primary examiner Mike Clifford from Victoria talks about the common pitfalls in the ICU Primary exam and shares his top tips for exam preparation.

In this episode, we discuss some of the important concepts of Respiratory physiology like FRC, closing capacity and mixed venous oxygen content.
