VivaCast 007 - License to....? Adrenoceptors, Local anaesthetic, Classification Anti-Arrythmics
Tom experience some catecholamine release of his own in this episode as he talks serpiginous GPCRs, Adenyl cyclase, PKA and comparing local anaesthetics, and getting tied up (like we all do) with the clinically pointless, but delightfully examinable Vaughan-Williams Anti-arrythmic classes!
We Debrief and break into some of the questions as we go.
As always the show notes are on the website!
Tom dives into the critical details of how oxygen makes it to the mitochondria, tells me of this concept called shunt and then gets thoroughly beaten to shreds by the Valsalva manoeuvre - a tactical doozy that gets rolled out because it is a baffling set of steps.
Alveolar Gas Equation
Shunt
Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction
Oxygen concentration Sensing of Plasma
And the Valsalva Manoeuvre.
We Debrief and break into some of the questions as we go.

Gas Gas Gas - Poly-Compart-Mental Madness Part Two - Ft. Pharmacokinetic BathTubs.
This Podcast for the FRCA Primary Exam thoroughly explores what is going on within the multi compartmental model that we use to try and comprehend how drugs move through humans.
If you like this, leave me a comment, if you don't, also leave a comment it's a rather mad one - perhaps reflected in the build up to this over the last few episodes.

The Primary FRCA Podcast
This will fit into a corner of your day, delivering a well explained concept critical to the knowledge required to pass the FRCA Primary Exam!
This is relevant to anyone in the world interested in these pharmacological, physiological, clinical, physical and chemical concepts, naturally it is flavoured towards UK practice.
Episodes will be (mostly) succinct, conceptually specific, and exam material focussed.
