Stages of General Anesthesia01:22

Stages of General Anesthesia

349
Various sedation levels offer significant advantages in facilitating procedural interventions for patients undergoing medical or invasive surgical procedures. These levels span from anxiolysis to general anesthesia, providing a spectrum of sedative effects to cater to specific patient needs. Anxiolysis reduces anxiety and is achieved through minimal sedation, enabling patients to remain awake and responsive while feeling more at ease during the procedure. This level can benefit minor...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

408
Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

Inhalational Anesthetics: Overview01:20

Inhalational Anesthetics: Overview

168
Inhalation anesthetics are drugs that induce general anesthesia upon inhalation. They work by increasing the sensitivity of GABAA receptors or inhibiting NMDA receptors, leading to a decrease in central nervous system activity. The depth of anesthesia can be rapidly adjusted by changing the concentration of the inhaled gas. Some common examples of inhalational anesthetics include volatile liquids like isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane and gases like xenon and nitrous oxide. Isoflurane, a...

General Anesthesia: Overview01:24

General Anesthesia: Overview

188
Anesthesia is a medical procedure that uses drugs for CNS suppression to enable painless surgeries and procedures. The selection of anesthetics is influenced by their pharmacokinetic properties, side effects, and patient characteristics. Various types of anesthesia include general, local, regional, spinal, and inhalational.
General anesthesia induces unconsciousness in the whole body, while the others target specific areas or sensations. It is administered to minimize adverse effects, maintain...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Surface, Infiltration, and Conduction Block Anesthesia

933
Depending on the target organ, local anesthetics (LAs) can be administered via various routes. In surface anesthesia, LAs are applied directly to the surface of the skin or mucous membranes. It is widely used for topical skin numbing before venipuncture or minor surgical procedures. Commonly used surface local anesthetics are lidocaine or benzocaine sprays or creams. Surface anesthesia occurs within 5 minutes and lasts for about 60 minutes. One of the main disadvantages of topical anesthesia is...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia01:11

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia

572
Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Psychology of Professions
  • Sociology of Medicine

Background:

  • Narrative and affect play significant roles in professional development.
  • Understanding these elements is key to effective anaesthetic training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the educational and social significance of narrative and affect in anaesthetic training.
  • To explore how storytelling shapes expertise and professional identity in anaesthetists.

Main Methods:

  • Focus group discussions were conducted with 24 young anaesthetists from Australia.
  • Analysis of transcripts from these discussions explored the use of narratives in training.

Main Results:

  • Narratives are a prominent medium for explaining and nurturing anaesthetic expertise.
  • Sharing stories about extreme situations emphasizes vigilance towards clinical and colleague factors.
  • Narrative emphasis on vigilance and resourcefulness may explain social exclusivity and professional inclusivity.

Conclusions:

  • Narrative plays a vital role in both the technical and social aspects of anaesthetic training.
  • Storytelling contributes to a strong sense of in-group bonding and professional identity.
  • Further understanding of narrative in medical education can inform training strategies.
