Today’s topic is a little more straightforward with very few LO’s to cover but still some important concepts. I start by first going through nerve conduction physiology (01:07) followed by understanding the difference between sleep and general anaesthesia (11:29). This leads to discussing an important topic of EEG and more specifically different types of processed EEG (19:07). As always at the end I go through the past SAQ’s (24:50). Thanks for listening! As always if you have any feedback let me know @ anirudh@sweetdreamsanaesthesia.com

I’m back today after a little break over the exam period with our brand-new series “Neurophysiology & Pain.” The topic today is “Functional Anatomy.” I start by first going over the basic anatomy of ANS broken down further into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system (02:38) followed a look at the important neurotransmitters and receptors in this pathway (13:27). Then I look at the structure and function of the blood brain barriers (25:51) as well as the production, reabsorption and role of CSF (30:28). There are a few SAQs to get through at the end both from ANZCA and CICM exams (38:11). Thanks for listening! As always if you have any feedback let me know @ anirudh@sweetdreamsanaesthesia.com
