Description

Hey everyone, my name is Lauren Rietchel and I'm a 4th year medical student at the University of British Columbia, and welcome to the Anesthesiology Clerkship Podcast! In this podcast, I talk about all things anesthesia for a clerkship level medical student. We will go through the basics of anesthesia (like what that word even means!) and build our way up through to more complicated topics. Each episode will be varied and feature different styles of teaching to suit all learning styles! I include didactic explanations, examples, cases and a step-by-step approach to anesthesia. This podcast is sure to help aid you in becoming a successful third year medical student on your upcoming anesthesiology rotation. So please pop-in your headphones, sit back (or go for a healthy brain walk!) and enjoy the podcast. It's learning time!

Hi Friends! Today I discuss two different topics which include: Laryngeal Mask Airways or LMA's, and how to do a rapid sequence induction. LMA's are very commonly used in specific anesthesia settings, so it is important to know how they work. Rapid sequence inductions are commonly performed in emergency surgeries which can happen frequently depending on where you do your clerkship training. I go through both of these topics briefly to give you an overview for a clerkship level. Your attending can fill in the details. Thanks for listening and hope you enjoy! Cheers,Lauren Rietchel ps: any questions, comments, inquiries please email: anesthesiologyclerkshippodcast@gmail.com
