Anesthesiology Journal's podcast

Thoughtful discussion of important articles. In-depth. Good interviews. Discuss methods, basic science, findings. Interviews often also include editorialist which help gives the articles context. Drs. Sweitzwer, Karasch, Rathmell well prepared hosts.

The sound quality of the podcasts are poor, sometimes unintelligible.

Most recent episode gives high praise to a French study forced to terminate due to high rates of bradycardia and asystole after running Precedex at up to 1.4 mcg/kg/hr. They then discuss why opioid free anesthesia is fraught with adverse events. Please. Whatever did you think would happen after running Precedex at those rates I should make a study with patients on a fentanyl infusion so I can show the pitfalls of balanced anesthesia.

I don’t think it would take much more effort to approach this as if your talking to someone, because you are. The format of the interviewer and/or the reviewer of the studies in which the speaker is simply reading from a script is hard to listen to.
