Description

GasGasGas The Primary FRCA Exam Podcast.

This will fit into a corner of your day, delivering a well explained concept critical to the knowledge required to pass the FRCA Primary Exam!

This is relevant to anyone in the world interested in these pharmacological, physiological, clinical, physical and chemical concepts, naturally it is flavoured towards UK practice.

Episodes will be (mostly) succinct, conceptually specific, and exam material focussed.

GasGasGas - Halothane

GasGasGas - Halothane

2025-11-2820:02

With the advent of halothane, smoking, static and other sizzling was back in style! Gone were the explosive diethyl ether, acetylene, trichloroethylene and cyclopropane anaesthetics of the 1950's and with it a new era of fewer explosions, and possibly a greater prevalence of post operative liver distress.

Having a solid understanding of Sevoflurane is, as you might expect, quite important for the FRCA primary and your career. as it is likely the most commonly used volatile anaesthetic agent, at least in the UK. n.b. polar bears are very allergic to Desflurane GasGasGas - Covering Anaesthetic Science for Anaesthetists!

GasGasGas - Isoflurane

2025-10-3124:20

This Primary FRCA podcast episode introduces you to Isoflurane, a ubiquitous and fairly cheap volatile anaesthetic agent that always seems to be left alone while its sevoflurane friend lives the high life, This episode probably won't sway your use, but if you walk into an anaesthetic halfway thru and have no idea what your ET for MAC-1 is, then this is for you!

Yet again, the sound engineer has been sacked........ Apologies that this is a second attempt at an Opioids Quiz, the music cuts went rather wrong - so we've slung the music in the bin! This is a straight up quiz, with gaps so you can think up an answer and then, as you might expect... an Answer!

GasGasGas - Clonidine

2025-10-0319:30

Clonidine is a drug found in many a cupboard, acting as a useful adjunct for pain, sedation and having utility in smoothing out post op emergence, it has off license use as a adjunct in regional and neuraxial blockade (at least in the literature!)

GasGasGas - Midazolam

GasGasGas - Midazolam

2025-09-1919:10

Midazolam represents the cornerstone benzodiazepine in perioperative medicine, offering rapid onset sedation, anxiolysis, and amnesia with predictable pharmacokinetics. Understanding its mechanism, dosing strategies, and clinical applications is fundamental for safe anaesthetic practice and optimal patient care.

GasGasGas - Etomidate

2025-09-1219:50

Having an Iota of a Scooby-Doo about Etomidate is perhaps what is required for the FRCA primary exams. We've gone into naturally more detail when we're talking Etomidate for gasgasgas, because we love a bit of detail. This episode covers the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of Entomidate, but also explores briefly steroidogenesis and what the implications of this is clinically  GasGasGas - putting knowledge in your brain!

Understanding molecular stereochemistry is fundamental to modern anaesthetic practice. The three-dimensional arrangement of atoms within drug molecules directly impacts their pharmacological properties, with some arrangements being therapeutically beneficial while others may be inactive or even harmful. This episode explores the concept of isomerism in anaesthetic drugs, with particular focus on how molecular handedness affects drug choice.

Welcome to the final local anaesthetic episode - Peri-neural adjuncts- because we should not forget the medley of mixing options that you could stir into your NRfit cauldron.... although most folks don't. Ketamine in it goes, give it a stir - a dash of clonidine for a bit of dozy chill - 3 grains of morphia and don't forget the sodium bicarbonate.

Welcome to Local Anaesthetic Systemic Toxicity!! (LAST) is one of the most significant complications in regional anaesthesia practice. This episode explores the pathophysiology, recognition, and management of LAST with particular emphasis on emergency management protocols and risk mitigation strategies. Understanding LAST is crucial for safe regional anaesthesia practice, as it can occur with any local anaesthetic administration and requires immediate, systematic intervention.
