EP20– Pregnancy and Physiological Changes | MiniPod | CT10 Count to 10 - Anaesthetic Primary Podcast

- Education
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!
