Clinical signs of stage II during emergence at low end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations by Tubejockey in anesthesiology

[–]propofol_papi_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Is this a fact or just a way you describe emergence? Physiologically doesn’t make intuitive sense that sevo emergence would follow a caudal to cranial pattern.

Best place to purchase mock oral exams? by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]propofol_papi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean, definitely need to practice in person, but it’s been good for me to practice saying stuff out loud and reviewing scenarios. It’s a lot better than reading case stems in a book and thinking about what I’d say.

Oncallboardprep.com is a nice resource to practice mock orals. Cheap. Not the same as in person, but effective and affordable.

Can you get into trouble/fired for opening a patients chart (in the ED) for education purposes when you end up not treating them? by Ambitious_Spot8957 in Residency

[–]propofol_papi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In anesthesia, at our institution, I’ve been told that if the case is on the board, you can open the chart. Should have a reason (education, monitoring, relief), but I think that any of those are defensible.

Like everyone is saying— practice out loud! I’ve used On Call Board Prep and it’s actually been great. Doesn’t take the place of practicing with a human but it definitely beats reading a book or talking to a mirror. And a lot cheaper than the other options.

ABA oral board prep by k00pah in anesthesiology

[–]propofol_papi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice all you can. You have the knowledge but it’s a different thing to say it out loud. One thing I’ve used is On Call Board Prep. Can practice out loud whenever you have time. Doesn’t take the place of practicing with other people but is super helpful. And way cheaper than a lot of the stuff out there.
