A professor educates you and it's your job to take in what you've learned and also continue educating yourself.. From your comment I take it your in the medical profession so you should know this is why we always have "Conferences often in multiple states" ",Meet the standards of continuing education yearly" etc. I've seen many Anesthesiologist and others who teach within a year of graduation. As you know there's levels to education. Honestly Max is doing an awesome job at what he's doing. He's educating on levels that many can not do no matter how much "Research" they do. Some are phenomenal at their profession however they can not delivery information to others.. Kudos to all of us in the medical profession!!

      An important aspect of all medical practice is teaching! Starting even in medical school, students that are further along instruct/tutor/mentor younger students. Doctors are always teaching other doctors and medical professionals (for example, attendings supervising residents and interns), as well as their patients.

    I used to work in an OR as a young man at 20 years old, as an orderly. When I had some free time moving patients back and forth to the OR, I used to stand and watch the anesthesia and the surgeons working. On my first day on the job. Dr. McNamara was doing a lung resection. He called me over to the surgery table and had me take a look into the chest cavity at the heart beating inside the patients chest. I was just so amazed I knew right then that I wanted to become a surgeon, though I did not become a surgeon it was an outstanding experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

      Literally, they don't receive their due credits instead receive some kind of inferior behaviour in some parts of world.
      Anesthesiologist is working all the time, not getting distracted despite of having a live surgery in front of him he keeps monitioring all the things. Little bit of negligience and person is gone, anesthesia is like controlling all the vitals of person and giving the surgeon a ready field to just work, but the great field is made by anesthesiologist, maintained by anesthesiologist and no batsman can success if the field only is bad.

    When I was 13 my GP and ENT ended up determining that I needed a tonsillectomy based on the threat to my breathing at night, my tonsils were frequently so enlarged that they caused sleep apnea.
    I swear this is a true story. I remember it vividly. The anesthesiologist picked up quickly on how inquisitive and hungry for knowledge I was and my effort to understand what was happening. The last thing I remember before going under is that she asked if I wanted to knock myself out. I said that sounds cool! She held my hand and guided my thumb as I pressed the plunger on the syringe. I only made it about 1/3 of the way into the dose before my next memory which was talking to someone that definitely wasn't in the recovery room and they were wiping tears from my face. They said everything went well and that I would be moved into recovery soon. From then I don't remember anything until I was coming to again in the recovery room and the nurse offered me to sip some sprite.

    When I started working in the OR 50 years ago, I remember charting under anesthesia used “PANIS”
    Pentothal, Atropine, Nitrous, Inovar, Sublimaze. Anesthesia machines had N20,O2, with their bottles hanging off the side, Cyclopropane ( highly flammable), Flouthane. Ethane and Penthrane for the halagenous gasses.
    Monitor equipment was no more than a manual BP cuff and sphygmomanometer, Bird PR-1 ( old green ) respirator. non disposable rubber masks, breathing circuits, Datascope EKG monitoring. Even the old Puritan Bennett suctions were reusable glass bottles, rubber tubing and metal Yankauer suction tips. ET tubes and airways all reusable. Anesthesia techs would decontaminate them using Cidex.

    @MSUSpartansRock Před 2 lety +1

    I'm a veterinary nurse, and our anesthesiologists at the teaching hospital taught us that monitors are great tools, but nothing is better than your own senses. We were encouraged to use our ears by inserting esophageal stethoscopes, our eyes by looking at the patient- eye position, color of mucus membranes, is the chest rising and falling. We should touch the patient- how tight or slack is the jaw, are they warm, cold, hot? At the teaching hospital we had all sorts of monitors. In some private practices, they may not have anything!

    Love your videos. As a Board-certified Ob/Gyn I diagnose and care for many breast cancer patients. It would be informational for a lot of us as Ob/Gyn attendings as to how you adapt anesthesia procedures for mastectomy and reconstruction patients. For example, where do you place BP, temperature, and ECG monitors given the surgical site would preclude the usual placement of these monitors. Also how do you keep the patients warm given the exposure of the surgical field. In Ob/Gyn, a Pair Hugger device is placed on the upper body and keeps the patient warm while we operate in the abdomen or vaginally.

    • @MaxFeinsteinMD
      @MaxFeinsteinMD  Před rokem +2

      Hi Dr. Collins, thanks for your feedback! There's always a place to attach monitors, sometimes we just have to get a little creative. For breast surgery, EKG leads go on the back. If we can't use a patient's arms, BP cuff can go on the leg (or we can place an arterial line). Temperature probes can go basically anywhere-- nares, esophagus, axilla, temperature probe on a Foley, etc. In addition to upper body Bair, we can either do lower body or underbody.

    When I had surgery to fix a distal radius fracture the trainee (not sure exactly what they were) put the pulse oximeter on my operating hand. The surgical nurse politely called it into question, and the trainee quizzically stated that it needed to go on the opposite arm as the blood pressure cuff. The nurse gently got them to realize that a pulse oximeter on an extremity that had a tourniquet cuff on it wasn't going to work during surgery...

    Thank you for these great videos. I love the info on the variety of vitals monitoring, within the surgical procedure. Would you consider discussing vitals and responses in the recovery room? I had hand surgery during which, everything was fine during the surgery but a little different in recovery. Once I was more "awake", the nurse kept asking me to take deep breaths and not fall back asleep. Then came o2 via nasal. They ended up calling anaesthesia because come to find out I kept desating, even with o2 support. A few minutes later I had a whole lot of bedside visitors including my surgeon, anesthesiologist, and just a mess of people. Things get a little muddled at that point but obviously I came out just fine! I woke up again in a different part of recovery, nrb,and a nurse who wouldn't leave the monitors. Hours later I was much better and begrudgingly sent home but with a warning to tell any future anesthesiologists that this happened. Though I'm not Sure what 'this' is. I'd love to hear about some post op scenarios where this could happen. Thanks!

      A normal waveform looks almost like a square but a little slanted on the left and top. If the waveform is flat then most likely the ventilator circuit is disconnected somewhere. Cardiac arrest could also cause this. Another one is a shark fin shaped waveform where it’s very sloped on the left. This is from a bronchospasm. If the baseline is elevated and the FiCO2 is elevated then either you have an exhausted soda lime or a broken valve that’s causing you to rebreathe CO2. Usually it’s the soda lime and it will be all purple too. Those are the most common ones. If the EtCO2 is unusually high of course we would have to. consider malignant hyperthermia.

    Dr. Einstein, here's an idea for another video or two? Use of gas for induction: When and why ( dental work aside). The different types of airway used (mask with inhalation gas (gasses) laryngeal mask airway, endotracheal tube. Are there generally accepted standards for use of LMA or ETT? and examples that give a very generalized picture of what types of procedures like ORIF at a joint, abdominal hernia (small), cystoscopy. Just to share a memory from my childhood. Somewhere around 1965 I had undergone several surgeries. Among them were an atrial septal defect and opening of stenotic ureter. I still today remember the fear I wen through because of being taken down with inhalational anesthesia. I don't don't know what they commonly used in 1965 but I suspect it was either nitrous oxide or maybe the ********anes or ether. At 9 years old (not quite) I absolutely hated the high that I got. I used to be in respiratory therapy for some time but have gone to other work almost 30 years ago. What amazes me is how much technology has changed. 2 examples are the closest thing they had to the current LMA was EOA or esophageal obturator airway which was basically combination of mask and tube. The tube being usually a little larger than the ETT but looked very similar to it as it had an inflatable cuff. This tube went into the esophagus and the cuff sealed it. There were also holes in the tube just below the mask to ventilate with. The other thing that has now come about, I heard of in it's developing stages, was continuous ABG arterial blood gas monitoring in real time.

    I have a minor spine birth defect I didn't even know I had until it was mentioned in an x-ray report. When I mentioned it in passing to the anesthesiologist during a pre-surgical conference he said I should avoid any spinal anesthesia as it would be higher risk for complications.

    • @katherineejessup
      @katherineejessup Před 2 lety

      I’m wondering if the complication they meant could be arachnoiditis? I have that myself but I’m not allowed to have any spinal injections including epidurals. It’ll be basically cause more scar tissue to develop in the arachnoid layer of the spine which would cause more scaring and more pain.

    Can you do a video about nerve blocks if you do those? I got an interscalene nerve block for shoulder surgery a few months ago and I am wondering if they leave the catheter in during surgery and if they can administer more meds through that during or after surgery. I'm pretty sure my anesthesiologist taped something to my neck but not sure because he gave me something to relax. I also could move my index finger slightly after surgery but when I got home I was not able to move it so I'm wondering if he gave me more. You should also do a video of a simulation of anesthesia before during and after so we can kind of figure out what happened when we were in la la land

    I just recently had a surgery last week and find it so fascinating that it’s possible to be sedated to the point of no memory of the procedure or pain. I was given MAC IV sedation with a local anesthetic. Can you do a future video on the levels of sedation? Also another interesting video would be how an Anesthesiologist can tell if the patient is
    sedated enough for the surgery or procedure.

    I really like listening to you. Thank you for breaking things down. I'm a retired nurse. It always bothered me that I didn't know how much more doctors knew than I knew, because of differences in medical and nursing schools. Well, you're showing me...there's not that much difference. Human bodies are human bodies. Nurses have to know the same info doctors do. Nurses aren't taught the vastness of diseases and meds for them. We're taught the minutia of patient care, prevention, treatments, recovery, etc. with basic diseases and treatment options, including meds. After the basics, each of us learns the diseases and meds for the specialty we've chosen in much more detail. You're helping me understand there's no real difference in what we're taught; doctors are taught the same info we are, but from a slightly different perspective. Both nurses and doctors are taught the same material, but with slightly differences in foci and perspective. Thank you for making that clear. I appreciate that.

    What is the current status of BIS monitoring? I practiced during the introduction of BIS, which was pushed on us by the LEGAL Department of the hospital, who thought it would eliminate lawsuits about awareness. Of course, that MARKETING approach enhanced my natural passive-agressive tendencies, LOL. At the time I retired some hospitals required BIS and others did not.
    My experience was that awakening is not a linear process but an exponential process. By the time the BIS told you the patient is awake, the patient had been moving for 30-60 sec.

    • @AJohnson0325
      @AJohnson0325 Před 3 lety

      There is a lag between the bis monitor taking the measurement and displaying the value. I think it’s about 30 seconds or so. The doses of volatile anesthetics are well known. There have been several studies comparing BIS values and MAC values of anesthetic gases and most studies have shown no added value of the bis when using normal MAC values. However, i do routinely use the bis for TIVA cases and aim for a value around 40. I hope this helps.
