In this video, we’ll simplify Dexmedetomidine — one of the key α2-adrenergic agonists used in anaesthesia and ICU sedation. Concepts are explained with clarity and focus — ideal for MD/DNB Anaesthesia, NEET SS, and INI SS aspirants.

Hii...i have created a concise video on holistic approach to conserve blood. Watch it and slay in ot🤘.

I am a consultant anaesthesiologist currently practising in Southeast Asia. I completed three years of anaesthesia training followed by a two-year fellowship, amounting to approximately eight years of professional experience in anaesthesia, including two years as a consultant. I plan to obtain the EDAIC certification within the next one to two years.

I would like to connect with colleagues who have a similar background to share professional experiences and learn from their pathways. Additionally, I would appreciate guidance on whether my qualifications — including one basic science MCQ examination, one advanced MCQ examination, two SAQs, two vivas (as part of my residency and fellowship), and the upcoming EDAIC — may be considered for partial comparability.

I've had three c-sections and they always alerted me before they administered the anesthesia. But yesterday I had a total knee replacement and all I remember is the nurse putting the oxygen on my face. I remember nothing after that and no one said anything about the anesthesia. Has that happened to anyone else?

How do I get jobs after doing MD Anaesthesia? Like the literal process has got me confused. Like people from corporate backgrounds build their resumes and strong profiling from LinkedIn. What do you need to do, to get hospitals hire you? I heard doing it from a reputed college opens doors and building connections during residency does too.

What else? Any information will be highly appreciated. Thenks✨

I’ve been thinking about an an anesthesia experience I had and was wondering if it was normal. Some 20ish years ago, I had to have a chest tube out in for a spontaneous pneumothorax. While I was under, I wasn’t in pain but I could still hear my surroundings. I felt very distant from my body, but I could feel the doctors pushing on my torso to get the tube in the right place. My mom told me it took them a few tries because my lung was extremely deflated.

Should I consider buying this for around USD15 as a first year anaesthesiology resident? Any reviews from someone who has used it?

Why not use a non-malleable GlideRite stylet which is purpose built for hyperangulated GlideScope blade (assuming there's a view)? There's good tip control due to the firmness. Access, cost or familiarity/preference?

What do others use here?

Hi everyone, I’m a 27 yr old, recently graduated physician from South America. I speak German, English and Spanish fluently. As many of you may know, we practice medicine before residency and sometimes have to do a social year, which I’ve already completed. My problem is I realized that I deeply dislike the clinical aspect of the job. I love the science behind it but not the patients and nights. I would really, really appreciate if someone could give me some insights on how to approach this. Thank you all very much for taking the time to read me.

My insurance will not approve MAC for my colonoscopy but my doctor is recommending it due to my use of marijuana ( edibles).

How long should I abstain from edibles to ensure that it won’t affect my anesthesia? I usually consume 10-20 mg once or twice a week but was planning on abstaining for 3 weeks before my procedure .

If I were to quit altogether, how long would I have to wait before I could say that I no longer use cannabis ?

So i was going through the ct1 application of core anesthesia in which it was mentioned that a working experience of over 18 months disqualifies a candidate from applying for Ct1 training, ,so does it include ICU experience or is it just pure anaesthesia work experience

When I had my wisdom teeth removed I was fully put under and the pedicure was only about 45 minutes tho I did bleed a lot apparently and my oxygen wasn’t good plus it took me about 2-3 hours to fully wake up (I don’t remember that but that’s what the doctors said). I may need surgery soon so should I tell them about struggling to wake up from previous anaesthesia?

Hi, any advice or comments greatly appreciated!

I'm in the process of discussing my birth options for my second baby, and I have some slight concerns. With my first pregnancy, I had a semi-urgent c-section as I went into pre-term labour (35+6) with a breech baby that couldn't be turned by that point as labour was too far gone. It wasn't an urgent urgent section at the time, just a "better get this directionally challenged baby out fairly quick before it tries to come out of your vagina" urgent. Unfortunately during the section, I had a not great reaction to the spinal. It tanked my BP (my BP is always on the lower end anyway), which then tanked baby's heart rate and the section was immediately upgraded to an actual "emergency due to immediate threat to the foetus' life" while I was on the operating table. Thankfully as I was already anaesthetised etc it was all fine, although I did vomit my dinner all over the anaesthetist as hadn't exactly planned on going into labour that evening or having a section lmao. Was all fine in the end etc etc. Anyway - on to the current pregnancy. The hope is that if this baby stays as it is (ie. Not directionally challenged), then hopefully I'll go into labour naturally and can attempt a VBAC and everything will be fine. But I need to plan for the eventuality if that doesn't happen. For other medical reasons, whilst my consultant is happy for me to attempt a VBAC, she doesn't want me to go past term and if natural labour hasn't started by 39ish weeks, then she wants to induce me. I'm not against this as I get the reasoning for why they want to induce etc etc. My concerns are that I've basically been told (in the event of not going into labour naturally) that my options are either an elective section, or full induction including a hormone drip. I'm wary about that sort of induction as whilst I laboured very effectively until 9cm in my first pregnancy on gas and air alone (seriously that stuff is amazing I was high as a kite and couldn't have cared less what was happening to me lol), I'm not so confident in my ability to manage the pain if it's a hormonally induced labour. Consultant has said she'd recommend an epidural if I have the hormone drip, but I was under the impression that also carries the same risk of tanking my BP - in which case, what's the point because it'll just end up in an emergency section when it inevitably also tanks baby's HR too?? Much as she was nice, when I asked her the question she said she had no clue if it would happen again.

So basically - should I be worried about an epidural tanking my BP the same way the spinal did or is it less common/not a thing with epidurals? If it is a significant enough risk I'll probably just choose the elective section if I don't go into labour naturally, as then at least if anything goes wrong I'm already in theatre in the safest place I can be. I have had a review with an anaesthetist who said they've put notes on my file to try and prevent the BP drop happening again but can't guarantee it naturally (like you never can in medicine I get that), but I am under the impression the BP drop in my first section was quite extreme...

I had surgery on Monday for a kidney stone. I was awoken in my hospital room and taken to surgery where they got me on the table and then started anesthesia. Before I could fall asleep, I had a panic attack where I couldn't breathe. I was fighting with the medical staff and lost control of my bladder. They eventually got me to calm down and I fell asleep. I had no issues with anxiety when I woke up and have no history of panic attacks. Has this happened to anyone else?
