In this episode, Josephine and Manuela dive into malignant hyperthermia (MH), one of the most serious anesthetic emergencies. From calcium release and skeletal muscle physiology to recognizing the early signs of an MH crisis, we break down the pathophysiology, triggers and key principles of acute m…
In this episode, Josephine and Manuela explore the anesthetic considerations for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing non-cardiac surgery. From coronary physiology and myocardial oxygen supply-demand balance to acute coronary syndromes, perioperative risk assessment and intraopera…
In this episode, Jessica and Alex explore anesthetic considerations for patients with thyroid disease and those undergoing thyroidectomy. Starting with a review of thyroid physiology, they break down how hypo- and hyperthyroidism affect major organ systems and why these changes matter in the periop…
In this episode, Alex and Josephine sit down with their colleagues Iliya and Kaitlyn, who both matched to anesthesia at McMaster University, and Tariq, who matched to anesthesia at the University of Alberta, to reflect on their journeys to residency. From choosing electives to preparing for intervi…
In this Airwayve episode, we kick off our anesthetic emergencies season with a practical look at hypoxemia and hypoxia. We review the oxygen cascade, the A–a gradient, and how oxygen is transported in blood, then clarify the difference between hypoxemia and tissue hypoxia through the lens of oxygen…
Don’t hold your breath for this one. In this month’s episode, we take a deep dive into ventilation basics and walk through how normal respiratory physiology compares to positive-pressure ventilation in the OR. We break down core settings like FiO₂, tidal volume, respiratory rate, I:E ratio, and PEE…
In this episode of Airwayve, join Manuela and Tariq as they explore the anesthetic considerations for patients with liver disease. We start with a refresher on liver physiology and its vital roles in metabolism, coagulation, and drug clearance, before delving into the pathophysiology of cirrhosis a…
In this episode of Airwayve, Alex and Josephine dive into the challenges of managing pulmonary hypertension in the OR.
