Inhaled Anesthetics 101: Pharmacokinetics vs. Pharmacodynamics | MAC, Solubility & Induction

mercredi 14 octobre 2026 • Durée 39:12

In this episode of My Favorite Learners, we're breaking down one of the most commonly confused concepts in nurse anesthesia pharmacology: pharmacokinetics vs. pharmacodynamics of inhaled anesthetic agents.

If you've ever confused blood-gas solubility with anesthetic potency, or wondered why hypothermia decreases MAC, this episode is for you!

We'll cover:

💨 Blood-gas solubility and speed of induction
🧠 MAC, anesthetic potency, and CNS effects
📈 FA/FI curves and partial-pressure gradients
🫀 Cardiac output, ventilation, and fresh gas flow
❄️ Hypothermia, CMRO₂, and decreased MAC
💉 Clinical application using a post–cardiac arrest patient

The biggest takeaway?

Pharmacokinetics = How does it get there?

Pharmacodynamics = What does it do once it gets there?

Understanding the difference is essential for anesthesia pharmacology, clinical decision-making, and preparing for the NCE.

Whether you're an SRNA, CRNA student, or anesthesia provider looking for a pharmacology refresher, this episode connects the science to real clinical practice.

Advanced Lab Interpretation for CRNA Boards | ACT, TEG/ROTEM, Coagulation & Massive Transfusion

mercredi 2 septembre 2026 • Durée 20:44

Advanced lab interpretation is about more than memorizing normal values -it’s about understanding why a test was ordered, what the result tells you about your patient, and how it changes your anesthetic management.

In this episode of My Favorite Learners, we break down the advanced laboratory testing SRNAs need to understand for the NCE, anesthesia clinicals, and future CRNA practice.

We cover platelet count and function, PT/INR, aPTT, anti-Xa, activated clotting time (ACT), fibrinogen, D-dimer, TEG and ROTEM, and how these tests guide clinical decision-making in anticoagulation, active bleeding, cardiopulmonary bypass, and massive transfusion.

You’ll also learn why massive hemorrhage requires you to think beyond hemoglobin -including ionized calcium, potassium, acid-base status, temperature, perfusion, and the overall physiologic picture.

Throughout the episode, we work through board-style scenarios involving high-dose heparin and ACT before cardiopulmonary bypass, persistent bleeding after protamine, critically low fibrinogen during postpartum hemorrhage, and choosing the appropriate laboratory test for different forms of heparin.

The goal isn't to ask:

“What is the normal value?”

It’s to ask:

“Why was this test ordered? What does it tell me about my patient? And what am I going to do with the result?”

Perfect for SRNAs preparing for the NCE, nurse anesthesia students studying advanced lab interpretation, and CRNAs reviewing perioperative laboratory testing and clinical decision-making.

My Favorite Learners - making anesthesia concepts make sense.

12-Lead EKG Made Simple for SRNAs & CRNAs | Lead II, V5, Axis & Ischemia

lundi 10 août 2026 • Durée 27:39

12-lead EKG interpretation does NOT have to be overwhelming. 🫀⚡️

In this episode of My Favorite Learners, we break down EKG/ECG monitoring specifically for SRNAs, CRNAs, anesthesia providers, ICU nurses, and anesthesia learners—with simple analogies and clinically relevant pearls you can actually remember.

We start with one of the most confusing concepts: What is the difference between an ECG lead and an electrode?From there, we build a practical understanding of 3-lead, 5-lead, and 12-lead ECG monitoring and why different leads give us different electrical views of the heart.

In this episode, we cover:

🫀 ECG vs EKG terminology
⚡ Electrodes vs leads
🫀 3-lead vs 5-lead vs 12-lead ECG monitoring
⚡ Why anesthesia providers commonly monitor Lead II
🫀 Why V5 is valuable for perioperative ischemia surveillance
⚡ V1 vs V5 and why chest-electrode placement matters
🫀 Correct V1–V6 electrode placement
⚡ Limb leads vs precordial leads
🫀 Inferior, septal, anterior, and lateral ECG leads
⚡ A simple way to understand cardiac axis
🫀 Left axis deviation vs right axis deviation
⚡ Left bundle branch block vs right bundle branch block
🫀 Contiguous leads and myocardial ischemia/infarction
⚡ ST-segment changes during anesthesia
🫀 Myocardial oxygen supply vs demand
⚡ High-yield ECG pearls for SRNAs and nurse anesthesia boards

One of the biggest takeaways: Lead II and V5 aren't valuable for the same reason. Lead II gives us excellent atrial activity and rhythm information, while V5 provides valuable surveillance for ischemic ST-segment changes. Together, they give anesthesia providers two very different—and clinically important—views of what's happening with the heart.

Instead of memorizing random ECG patterns, we're focusing on understanding where each lead is looking, what it's seeing, and why that matters for your anesthetic.

🎧 My Favorite Learners is a pharmacology and anesthesia education podcast designed to make difficult concepts easier to understand for SRNAs, CRNAs, nurses, and anesthesia learners.

Pediatric & Obstetric Anesthesia Made Easy | High-Yield CRNA, SRNA & NBCRNA NCE Review

dimanche 28 juin 2026 • Durée 23:23

Pediatric and obstetric anesthesia can feel overwhelming when you're first starting clinical - but they don't have to be.

In this episode of My Favorite Learners, we simplify two of the most intimidating anesthesia rotations by focusing on physiology first. Instead of memorizing countless facts and syndromes, you'll learn why pediatric and obstetric patients get into trouble and how that changes your anesthetic management.

Whether you're preparing for your first pediatric or OB clinical rotation, studying for the NBCRNA NCE, or looking for a high-yield anesthesia physiology review, this episode will give you a strong clinical foundation.

✅ Pediatric airway anatomy and why even 1 mm of airway edema matters
✅ Why infants desaturate so quickly (oxygen consumption & functional residual capacity)
✅ Pediatric cardiac physiology and why hypoxemia should be your first consideration when an infant becomes bradycardic
✅ Pediatric pharmacology pearls including MAC changes, neonatal drug metabolism, protein binding, and common OR cases
✅ Pregnancy physiology and how it changes the airway, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and pharmacologic responses to anesthesia
✅ Why pregnancy dramatically changes nearly every organ system we care about as anesthesia providers
✅ Labor epidurals, spinal anesthesia, combined spinal-epidurals (CSEs), and the physiology behind spinal hypotension
✅ Why phenylephrine is the current first-line vasopressor for spinal-induced hypotension during cesarean delivery
✅ Obstetric emergencies including high spinal, local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST), and postpartum hemorrhage
✅ Classic NBCRNA board pearls and clinical questions you're likely to hear from preceptors

• Don't memorize every syndrome - understand the physiology, and the anesthetic management becomes much easier.
• Pediatric bradycardia should immediately make you evaluate oxygenation and ventilation.
• Pregnancy produces profound physiologic changes that influence every anesthetic plan.
• Many institutions use early video laryngoscopy for high-risk obstetric airways, but airway management should always follow your institution's protocols and clinical judgment.• The goal isn't to memorize drug doses - it's to understand patients respond the way they do.

Antihypertensives & Anesthesia: The Meds That Love to Mess with Your Hemodynamics with Chloe Gomez, DNP, CRNA

lundi 29 décembre 2025 • Durée 28:17

Antihypertensive medications don’t have to feel overwhelming or memorization-heavy. In this solo lecture, Chloe Gomez, DNP, CRNA breaks down antihypertensive pharmacology through physiology, mechanisms of action, and real-world anesthesia implications - exactly what SRNAs, CRNAs, and anesthesia providers need for boards and the operating room.

This episode walks through the major classes of antihypertensives, focusing on how each drug lowers blood pressure rather than relying on disconnected lists. You’ll learn how antihypertensives interact with preload, afterload, heart rate, contractility, and systemic vascular resistance, and why those effects matter during induction, maintenance, and emergence from anesthesia.

Key topics covered include:

Beta blockers (β₁ vs β₂ effects, perioperative continuation, blunted sympathetic response)
ACE inhibitors (ACE-Is) & ARBs: RAAS physiology, vasodilation, and refractory hypotension
Calcium channel blockers (DHP vs non-DHP): vascular vs nodal effects

Alpha agonists and antagonists
How antihypertensives alter MAP, CO, SVR, and reflex tachycardia
Why certain antihypertensives increase the risk of induction hypotension
What to hold, continue, or anticipate on the day of surgery

Throughout the episode, complex pharmacology is tied directly to:

Hemodynamic management in anesthesia
Common board scenarios and NBCRNA-style reasoning
Vasopressor choice and response
Drug interactions with propofol, volatile agents, opioids, and neuraxial anesthesia

This lecture emphasizes understanding over memorization, helping anesthesia learners build a framework they can use in high-stakes clinical moments - not just exam day.

Calm the Rhythm, Save the Patient: Antiarrhythmics You’ll Never Forget with Chloe Gomez, DNP, CRNA

lundi 29 décembre 2025 • Durée 14:30

Antiarrhythmics don’t have to feel like chaos. In this solo lecture, CRNA educator Chloe Gomez, DNP, CRNA breaks down antiarrhythmic pharmacology using clear physiology, memorable frameworks, and anesthesia-specific clinical relevance - perfect for SRNAs, CRNAs, and anesthesia providers preparing for boards and clinical practice.

This episode walks step-by-step through the Vaughan Williams classification system (Class I–IV) and explains why these drugs work, not just what list they belong to. You’ll learn how antiarrhythmics interact with sodium, potassium, calcium channels, and beta receptors, and how those effects translate to changes in phase 0 depolarization, action potential duration, refractory periods, and conduction velocity.

Key topics covered include:

Class I sodium channel blockers (IA, IB, IC): how they alter phase 0, QRS width, and conduction
Class II beta blockers: AV node effects, rate control, and anesthesia considerations
Class III potassium channel blockers: action potential prolongation, QT interval risk, and torsades
Class IV calcium channel blockers: nodal suppression and hemodynamic effects
Why electrolytes (K⁺, Mg²⁺) matter when using antiarrhythmics
How antiarrhythmics can become pro-arrhythmic
What anesthesia providers must watch for in the OR, ICU, and PACU

This lecture emphasizes mechanism-based understanding, tying pharmacology directly to:

ECG changes
Perioperative risk stratification
Volatile anesthetics and arrhythmia risk
Drug interactions common in anesthesia practice
Board-style clinical reasoning for the NBCRNA NCE

If you’ve ever memorized the Vaughan Williams classes and immediately forgotten them, this episode is designed to finally make antiarrhythmics - so you can reason through arrhythmias with confidence instead of panic.
