Inhalational Anaesthetics

Structure-Activity & Volatile Kinetics plus more

It’s a jam-packed episode today as we start our new series on ‘Inhalational Anaesthetics.’ To help me cover the topic I’m joined by Robbie, fresh from passing (and smashing) the primary exam. We cover a lot today and my brain is fried after this episode. Strating off with MOA for inhalational agents (02:21), structure activity relationships (07:24) and defining the ideal inhalational agent (14:48). Then we delve into the ever confusion partition coefficients (16:21), wash-in kinetics (24:19), concentration and second gas effect (31:36) and wash-out kinetics (36:12). As always we end with a review of recent SAQs (40:40). This was a lot of fun and huge thanks to Robbie. Thanks for listening.
