Anesthesiologists and trauma

coffeewhore17
commented

I’m in an anes/CCM program and ATLS is part of our curriculum. I’m in the United States and anesthesia is part of every full activation to help with resuscitation and facilitate the transition to the OR. if the airway is wonky we take over.

I get that this is institution dependent but we have a big hand in trauma in my region of the country (PNW).

UK med student —> USA residency

I’m an anesthesia resident who does some stuff with our EMS fellowship here.

It isn’t like it is in the UK. EMS physicians are primarily medical directors and do stuff like write protocols, do training, and review cases. They’ll occasionally go out on the ambo but it’s not really part of the job.

I know a couple anesthesiologists who are medical directors for helicopter-based agencies, but the vast majority of EMS docs here are emergency medicine.

That being said, the University of Washington has a trauma anesthesia fellowship which I believe has some prehospital stuff incorporated into it.

Workout routine/split in residency

coffeewhore17
commented

Home gym is the secret otherwise it wouldn’t happen (mostly cause I’ve got kids).

Ultimately you just gotta get it in when you can. I consistently get 3+ workouts in a week, usually more like 5 or 6 if you include boxing or runs with my oldest kid. But it’s rarely consistent timing and frequent shifts between morning and evening day to day.

I use the Hevy app to track what muscle groups I’ve been focused on to ensure I hit everything with balance. Usually if I’m lifting I focus on a barbell movement or 2 and supplement with kettlebells, body weight, and resistance bands (or landmine stuff with my attachment). My main lifts were doing great until I injured myself, so now my leg routines are mostly physical therapy but my bench, row, and OHP are still progressing well.

Give ‘em all a try. I’ve rolled with people that size and sparred with people that size. I’d pick one that you feel most enjoyment with and stick with it consistently for a bit. Sounds like you’ve got great options and can’t go wrong.

I guess I don’t know enough about tet kids and the physiology there, but if there’s an SpO2 drop which I assume causes hypoxic vasoconstriction, how does phenyl improve the oxygenation?

Pulmonary HTN

I definitely don’t rank my ability to find evidence above that of an attending’s actual research but so far all the research I’ve found suggests that both those pressors do increase PVR. I’ll have to keep digging.

replied to pmpmd

I had an attending tell me that alpha receptors don’t exist in pulm vasculature when I mentioned I wanted to avoid phenylephrine in our pulm HTN patient.

But I was pretty sure a1 receptors exist in small and medium arterioles of the pulm vasculature? Am I wrong?

Can say that my ICU attendings that trained at each of those programs are phenomenal and I feel lucky to learn from them.

Can’t comment on a lot as I’m just a CA1 but I know you can staff CVICU without a cardio fellowship. Most of our attendings are anes/CCM. Only a couple did CCM and cardiac after residency.

Tell us about the last time you felt respected/appreciated in the hospital?

coffeewhore17
commented

Today the PACU nurses told me that they always feel good taking my patients because they know I pay attention and don’t dump train wrecks on them.

Granted I’m a CA1 so I’m not exactly getting a lot of train wrecks but it still feels good knowing the nursing staff trusts me.

For now.

Any pain docs here perused the chronic pain subreddit? Sheesh

This is how our program works. No prescriptions at all, can just make recommendations to the referring provider and do procedures. Seems like a way better practice.
