  • A not so brief jaunt with Oxygen, toxicity exploding cylinders and baritones of sulphur hexafluoride gas.
    Jan 23 2026

    The ubiquity of oxygen in the curriculum is directly correlated with its importance! One of many episodes that focus on the facets o knowledge needed to understand how oxygen does its thing. Today, when too much oxygen is a bad thing, how it is obtained, transported in hospitals and the negative implications of its use + some history that I know you all deeply desire!

  • Nitrous Oxide: Anaesthetic Mechanisms, B12 Toxicity and Safe Storage
    Jan 9 2026

    Nitrous Oxide, once a corner stone of 'passing the gas' has been progressively displaced by better agents, think sevoflurane with less PONV, remifentanil for rapid titratable pain relief and even desflurane for its speedier offset.

    This episode handles everything you need to know and more for the exams!

    Dec 29 2025

    The 2025 Bumper Christmas Special, delving into the delights of Ether, Enflurane and Explosions (+ fires)

    We find out a little bit about the first Ether anaesthetic, and then get to grips with what an explosion is, and why understandably it was problematic for anaesthetists.
