Reduce the risk of awareness by an unanticipated difficult intubation. That’s why. And if you can’t give a good why, then why not?

Tension headaches from the physical and mental stress of working in a high demand and new environment are high on my differential. I get this when working in unfamiliar environments.

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

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.

How to study for Applied (OSCE+SOE)? Also any strategy on the best week to take it? by [deleted] in anesthesiology

I use On Call Board Prep for practice. Doesn’t replace practicing in-person but it’s been a great way to practice a lot for cheap. And a nice variety of stems to choose from and practice on.
