Show Notes
This episode was originally released in April 2019 on From the Head of the Bed… a podcast for the anesthesia community. In this podcast, Skyler walks us through the pharmacodynamics of volatile anesthetics. We talk extensively about the concepts related to minimum alveolar concentration (MAC), the mechanism of action of volatile anesthetics and the physiologic response to volatiles. You don’t want to miss this excellent overview of core anesthesia concepts!
At the time of this recording, Skyler Rouhselang was a second-year SRNA at Marian University in Indianapolis, IN.
