About this listen

In this episode of My Favorite Learners, host Chloe Gomez, DNP, CRNA sits down with Becky Motykiewics, DNAP, CRNA, a pediatric anesthesia expert and educator at Drexel University. Together they break down why “kids are not just small adults,” diving into pediatric pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) and pharmacodynamics (volatile agents, opioids, benzos, neuromuscular blockers). From the higher MAC needs of infants to clinical pearls for managing pyloric stenosis and tonsillectomies, this episode gives SRNAs, CRNAs, and anesthesia providers practical insights for caring for neonates and children.

Whether you’re starting your first pediatric rotation or brushing up on safe dosing, you’ll walk away with confidence, memorable analogies, and board-relevant takeaways.
