    TRAUMA ANESTHESIA SERIES (PART 3): BLOOD PRODUCTS, VASOPRESSORS & MASSIVE TRANSFUSION | EP47 Sep 08, 2025
    Show notes

    In part 3 of the Trauma and Burn Anesthesia series, we focus on blood product administration and fluid resuscitation, exploring how transfusions are tailored to support oxygen delivery, coagulation, and hemodynamic stability in critically injured patients. The episode examines the indications and composition of packed red blood cells, platelets, plasma, and cryoprecipitate, as well as the role of crystalloids and colloids in resuscitation. Key complications of transfusion—including transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) and transfusion associated circulatory overload (TACO)—are highlighted with emphasis on recognition, prevention, and management. Listeners are also guided through the principles of massive transfusion protocols (MTPs), including balanced product ratios, calcium supplementation, and rapid delivery systems that optimize outcomes in life-threatening hemorrhage.

    COULD THIS NEW NON-OPIOID COMPLETELY REPLACE FENTANYL? | EP 42 Jul 15, 2025
    Show notes

    Discover the future of pain management on this episode of Atomic Anesthesia as we explore a major breakthrough: the FDA approval of suzetrigine, a first-in-class, nonopioid pain medication. Guided by cutting-edge research and expert editorial insight from Anesthesiology, we dig into how suzetrigine works—targeting the NaV1.8 sodium channel in peripheral nerves—and what this means for patients and providers facing acute pain. You’ll hear about the pivotal NAVIGATE clinical trials, real-world patient experiences, and the medication’s advantages over traditional opioids, including fewer side effects and no risk of addiction. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, patient, or someone passionate about medical innovation, join us to learn how suzetrigine is poised to reshape pain relief and help bridge the gap left by the opioid crisis.

    Show notes

    In this live webinar, we discuss pain pathways in extreme detail, which is a foundational topic for anyone in anesthesia or in the ICU. We explore the four stages of pain—transduction, transmission, modulation, and perception—breaking down complex neurophysiology into manageable segments. We also look at how acute pain transitions into chronic pain, covering nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain, and explaining the key roles of nociceptors, ion channels, and neurotransmitters. Whether you're new to this topic or reviewing for boards, this session offers clear explanations of difficult material, including referred pain and the gate control theory. Stick around until the end to hear about groundbreaking therapies like NAV1.8 blockers and the future of non-opioid pain management that could transform how we treat acute and chronic pain.
