Tom dives into the critical details of how oxygen makes it to the mitochondria, tells me of this concept called shunt and then gets thoroughly beaten to shreds by the Valsalva manoeuvre - a tactical doozy that gets rolled out because it is a baffling set of steps.

• Alveolar Gas Equation
• Shunt
• Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction
• Oxygen concentration Sensing of Plasma
• And the Valsalva Manoeuvre.

We Debrief and break into some of the questions as we go.

As always the show notes are on the website!

This VivaCast episode assesses Tom as we explore the structured approach to a clinical viva station requiring conversation around delivering an anaesthetic.

The show notes go into further detail on breaking this down

This Podcast for the FRCA Primary Exam thoroughly explores what is going on within the multi compartmental model that we use to try and comprehend how drugs move through humans.

If you like this, leave me a comment, if you don't, also leave a comment it's a rather mad one - perhaps reflected in the build up to this over the last few episodes.

Willing Victim Tom wields his knowledge Vs Dr Gas

1. SVP - Humidity - Critical Temperature
2. Heat and Temperature (James defines the 4 laws of thermodynamics)
3. Vapourisers and their function + Sevo vs Des
4. Entonox Vs Nitrous Oxide
5. Gas Laws

Finishing with a novel... way to recall gay-lussac law.

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.

1. How Carbon dioxide is transferred from tissue to atmosphere
2. The influences Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Mechanical and Drug factors have on intra-cranial pressure
3. Closing out with how the neonatal gasp and umbilical cord clamp triggers a number of cardio-vascular events in the ex-utero world.

Finsihing with a debrief on avoiding self laid traps - categorisation, and definitions

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!
