Manage episode 398214125 series 2803603
There is no such thing as a perfect anesthetic, but there are some that are pretty close. In today’s episode, we welcome Board-Certified MD Anesthesiologist, Dr. Dallen Mill, to discuss the pros and cons of our favored anesthetics and one non-pharmaceutical option that is as simple as it is effective. We open with Precedex, how it works, and how we can better understand its effects by brushing up on our knowledge of the autonomic nervous system. Then, we explore the side effects of Precedex, assess its onset rate, and discuss its other uses before diving into Remifentanil, its fast-working properties, warning signs to remember, and how to use the drug safely. After a brief interlude on the value of doing close case reviews, we end by examining one non-pharmaceutical technique that will calm your child in preparation for their surgery. And be sure to listen in to learn how playing hockey has improved Dr. Mill’s life as a surgeon!
