NovPod, a beginner’s guide to anaesthetics, Episode 5: Anaesthetic plan
Episode 5 is all about how to formulate your anaesthetic plan for patients requiring different forms of surgery. Eoin and Duncan discuss their experiences with planning anaesthesia as a novice and run through some case studies as examples of how and why we have different approaches to different cases.
The Novpod: a beginner's guide to anaesthetics is created, edited, and co-hosted by Dr Eoin Dore and Dr Duncan Kemp. We are two anaesthetic registrars on a mission to help our new anaesthetic colleagues get to know some of the new concepts you will come across in your novice period, hopefully helping to take away any anxiety around starting your time in anaesthetics.
The NovPod is hosted by Anaesthesia on Air, and created in association with the Royal College of Anaesthetists.
