EP3 – Gas Volumes & Gas Exchange | Anaesthetic Primary Topic | Respiratory Physiology | CT10 06.12.2022 52:53

Today I take a look at 'Gas Volumes & Exchange'. There are 5 learning objectives that I go through. Firstly, looking at physics of gas flow and its relationship with resistance (00:41). Followed by the factors that affect airway resistance (11:03) and how it can be measured (18:11). Then I discuss lung volumes and capacities and how they can be measured (21:18). This leads in to talking about Fick...

EP2 - Mechanics Of Breathing | Anaesthetic Primary Topic | Respiratory Physiology | CT10 10.11.2022 49:31

In this episode we take a look at the physiology behind 'Mechanics of Breathing'. This is a big section of the Respiratory Physiology topic and has 7 learning objectives. We breakdown the anatomy of the diaphragm (00:24), then look at surfactant and its role with reducing surface tension (08:06). We take a deep dive into compliance of the lung and chest (15:57) followed by an explanation of fast a...

EP1 - Control of Ventilation | Anaesthetic Primary Topic | Respiratory Physiology | CT10 21.10.2022 32:53

In this episode we take a look at the physiology behind control of ventilation. This is the first section in our Respiratory Physiology topic. At the end we also have a look at some of the past SAQs from previous ANZCA exams. Next episode we will go through 'Mechanics of Breathing.'
