In this episode Jeremy and Mark focus on the cricothyroid membrane. They discuss the anatomy, sizing, vasculature and orientation of this important airway landmark. They then highlight techniques for palpating the cricothyroid membrane, and finish up with a discussion that explains how to use Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) to mark where exact position of this membrane is on the neck. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!

In today’s podcast Jeremy and Mark review several anesthesia concepts that were covered in previous episodes…specifically Malignant Hyperthermia, Pulse Oximetry, and Adrenal Crisis.
As educators we know it’s important to revisit and review anesthesia concepts in order to help with long term memory retention. There’s actually a learning technique called
spaced learning (or spaced repetition) where information is reviewed at increasing intervals over time, instead of being crammed in a single session.
This method leverages the psychological spacing effect, where learning and retention are more effective when study sessions are spread out. And in the context of learning anesthesia concepts, spaced learning helps learners more efficiently memorize and deeply understand complex topics by reinforcing the material at various intervals, allowing for better long-term retention.
Also, since all CRNAs will need to recertify their credential in the future with the NBCRNAs new MAC questions…these episodes will help with that too!

In today’s episode Jeremy and Sass start by diving into normal physiologic function of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis. They then review how it’s regulated and the pathology/medications that can alter the HPA Axis. After that, it’s all about the adrenal glands, and Jeremy and Sass differentiate between Acute Adrenal Crisis and Adrenal Insufficiency. They talk about why chronic steroid use puts patients at risk for Adrenal Crisis and why cortisol is necessary for proper cardiovascular function and a whole lot more. This is definitely the nuts and bolts of “What you need to know”!

Episode Summary
Nitrous oxide is one the OG of anesthesia gases and is one of three gases pipped into our anesthesia gas machine. It’s known on the anesthesia workstation by the color blue. In this episode Jeremy and Mark discuss the current use of nitrous oxide and both it’sdesirable and undesirable effects. Gear up to review or learn about the “Original Blue Gas”!

This is a special episode where Jeremy & Sass talk with the one and only Dr. John Nagelhout, PhD, CRNA, FAAN. They talk with him about what it was like when he first went to anesthesia school, his transition into academics, how he gathered a group of CRNAs together to write the very first Nurse Anesthesia textbook, and the thousands of lives he’s influenced with his pharmacology lectures.
There’s a reason we call him the “Grand Master of Nurse Anesthesia Education” and this is a piece of history you won’t want to miss!

Episode Summary
The pulse oximeter is a primary anesthesia and critical care monitor. Not only does it help identify hypoxemia, but it provides several other pieces of essential information when monitoring a patient during anesthesia and surgery.
In this episode, we go over how the pulse oximeter functions, the current advantages and disadvantages, and other practical considerations that make pulse oximetry monitoring simple awesome!

Anesthesia induction agents are essential anesthesia medications that anesthesia providers need to learn about and understand so they can select the correct medication for the right patient/situation. The primary induction agents used in today’s anesthesia practice include: Propofol, Etomidate, and Ketamine…we refer to these as “The Knock Out Buch!”
Without a doubt, propofol is used more often than any other anesthesia induction agent.
In today’s episode, we talk about the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, mechanism of action, and clinical indications of each one of the anesthesia induction medications. Get ready, because this is an episode filled with key concepts and important information used for exams that is hard to find!

In this episode we highlight the various difficult airway algorithms and failed airway checklists developed by professional airway organizations. These tools used by anesthesia providers to develop their personal airway management plans and to help guide decision making in the event of a difficult or failed airway.
