EP21– Foetal Circulation and Neonatal Physiology | MiniPod | CT10
Happy New Year listeners! Today’s "MiniPod" is sadly my last for a few months as I take a break to sit my part 2 exam. I have put a lot in this pod and it’s not really that “mini.” I first start by discussing the foetal circulation and the shunts that help this circulation with the transition from foetal to neonatal circulation (01:30). Then I look at the differences in the anatomy of neonatal airway and the clinical implications of this (09:48). Finally, we look that physiological difference between a neonate and adult (15:44). As always we look at the past SAQS (23:48) and opening viva stem (38:38). Hope you guys enjoy the pod and thank you for your support, see you in a few months! If you have any questions please email me! As always thank you for listening!

EP20– Pregnancy and Physiological Changes | MiniPod | CT10
Today’s "MiniPod" reviewed the physiological changes that occur in pregnancy with a focus on the cardiorespiratory systems. I initially give a brief overview of the factors that cause these changes (00:40) followed by first looking at the cardiovascular system changes (02:40) and then the respiratory system (09:42). With these topics it's key to have a structure, describing pregnancy by trimesters and having broad subheadings allow you to get breadth of knowledge across. I utilise this approach as we look at the past SAQs (15:18) and then the past opening viva stems (23:45). I hope you enjoy the Podcast and next time we complete our maternal minipod section by talking about the foetal circulation and comparing and contrasting the neonatal and adult respiratory system. If you have any questions please email me! As always thank you for listening!

EP17 – Now That Was Unexpected | 2023.2 Primary | My Thoughts and What This Means For Future Exams | CT10
My first ever reaction pod! The 2023.2 primary exam was unexpected in many ways and I think is the biggest hint so far that the primary exam is changing! I share my big takeaways and don’t worry because I have some tips on how you can succeed with future sittings. I quickly recap the 15 saqs (01:26) and the discuss my first takeaway (05:21) which is that saqs are now more about understanding and clinical application rather than facts. I give my tips on what this means on how you should approach study and then discuss my second takeaway (18:01). Then I have two more takeaways (24:18) and (28:12) which you will have to listen to find out! I hope you enjoy this pod and remember this is my opioin, it doesn’t represent the view of ANZCA or anyone else!
