EP16: Anesthesia Basics - Induction & Paralytic Drugs
Update: 2023-08-07
Description
Hey friends! In this episode, we are switching gears to talk about the induction of anesthesia. We start by talking about the difference between rapid sequence induction (RSI) vs. standard induction and which drugs you would use for each. We then talk about the differences between non-depolarizing and depolarizing paralytic drugs (specifically rocuronium vs. Succinylcholine) and the mechanism of action, indications, and side effect profiles of commonly used drugs. We spend quite a bit of time talking about propofol and propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) and new research on GLP-1 agonists and how they interact with anesthesia. LOTS of info in this episode -- hope you love it!
