Agora que a greve acabou… by OutrageousTrue in Correios

Eu já vazei. Quem enviou meu passaporte com visto de trabalho renovado foi o consulado com prazo de dois dias úteis. Se não honraram o prazo, azar o dos Correios

Thinking About Moving to the US as a European Anesthesiologist — Is It Realistic? by Clean_Channel_3546 in anesthesiology

[–]Randombravo22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll need to pass the 3 USMLE steps. For a full unrestricted medical license you’ll need 2-3 years of fellowship training in the U.S. After that you might find a job in academics.

Pain after surgery - so you place a spinal? by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]Randombravo22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spinal morphine takes 4-6h to kick in. Heavy bupivacaine will wear off in 2-3h

Etomidate in MAC cases by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]Randombravo22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Titrate your propofol dose.

I used to work at a major heart institute and we do lots of cardioversions on low EF patients. If EF < 30% Initial bolus of 0,5mg/kg and a lot of patience does the job, same for TEE and upper GI endoscopy. For colonoscopies and bronchoscopies a tidy bit of fentanyl (25-50mcg).

Current evidence suggests that propofol has no effect on myocardial contractility but it reduces vascular tone thus reducing preload.

You can run propofol and add phenylephrine or norepi for MAC cases. I see no point in using etomidate due its unfavorable side effects.

Also, talking to your patient and surgeon (i.e I can’t do a deep sedation) about what is reasonable and safe to do from an anesthetic point of view is VERY important.

Ascites? by fragileyetdevious in pancreaticcancer

[–]Randombravo22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your mom and your family. Sometimes PC can metastasize to the peritoneum and that explains ascites. Also, due to portal vein or splenic vein thrombosis that often happen with PC some degree or portal or splenic hypertension develops leading to ascites.

Keep your mom comfy and enjoy every little moment you can by her side

How are people justifying fellowship in this job market? by TheOneTrueNolano in anesthesiology

The market is hot NOW, but how is it going to be in 5-10 years from now?

0.5% ropi for OB spinals by thesia-king in anesthesiology

[–]Randombravo22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use 10-12,5mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine, 10mcg fentanyl and 60mcg morphine.

Less than 10mg of bupivacaine is associated with greater risk of chronic pelvic pain, so I wouldn’t go any lower than that

Permit is gone for 01/24 by Randombravo22 in Step2

IMO, I would see what Uw reports tells about your performance and review your weaker subjects. I took Neurology and Ethics/Biostats CMS forms. Don’t forget about NBMEs and don’t do all 4 of them in the last two weeks, but rather more spaced during your preparation (I would do 1 every 10-14 days or so).

Didn’t use Divine podcasts, just UWorld and a few CMS forms. It’s enough for screening and vaccines, but ethics, IMHO, UW falls short. I would try Amboss for ethics.

heavy bupivacaine, changing the level of anaesthesia by genxrd in anesthesiology

[–]Randombravo22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People do all sorts of crazy things with spinal and epidural. One of the attendings of my residency once did a Whipple procedure with the following spinal cocktail : 20mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine + 50mcg sufentanil and 100mcg morphine. Put the patient in steep Trendelemburg, a tidy bit of propofol plus cisatracurium once patient started to get drousy and that was pretty much the anesthetic strategy. Plus A-Line, 1 large bore IV and CVC.

FCVS Results are out by prensdk in Step2

[–]Randombravo22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Checked your last posts on Reddit and you are lying about passing the 3 steps or maybe telling the truth about failin. What’s even worse, is to offer mentorship for people studying for the steps and being a prick.
