  • GLP-1 receptor agonists - Anaesthesia 2024 podcast

    GLP-1 receptor agonists - Anaesthesia 2024 podcast
    Jul 30 2024
    In the last of our Anaesthesia 2024 annual conference podcasts, Dr Ramai Santhirapala talks to Dr Kariem El-Boghdadly following his talk on GLP-1 receptor agonists in May 2024 at Glasgow Caledonian University.

    Kariem and Ramai discuss how GLP-1 receptor agonists affect gastric emptying and the subsequent risk of pulmonary aspiration, what anaesthetists can do about that, and what guidance we can look forward to around this area.

    They also discuss the work and achievements that led to Kariem being awarded the Dudley Buxton prize for ‘meritorious work in anaesthesia or in a science contributing to the progress of anaesthesia,' including how he got involved in research, with his advice for budding future researchers.

  • Communicating risk - Anaesthesia 2024 podcast

    Communicating risk - Anaesthesia 2024 podcast
    Jul 18 2024
    In this fascinating conversation Dr Sam Black talks to Maricarmen Climent and Jayne Hidderley about risk and how it is communicated in clinical settings.

    This podcast, the fourth of a series recorded at the RCoA's 2024 Annual Conference in Glasgow, follows a keynote talk given by Maricarmen and Leila Finikarides and expands on the themes they discussed, in the context of the Montgomery judgment and associated GMC guidance, amongst other things.

    We hear how risk is as much a feeling as a statistical fact, and that to make discussions of risk useful we should try to use 'natural' or meaningful frequencies, describe the absolute risk of something happening and - above all - ask patients about their own attitudes to risk. What matters to them about their forthcoming procedure and how they can best understand the implications.

    [Recorded May 2024] This recording was made at the time of the culmination of the UK infected blood enquiry.

  • Metabolomics and sepsis - Anaesthesia 2024 podcast

    Metabolomics and sepsis - Anaesthesia 2024 podcast
    Jul 4 2024
    In the third of a series of podcasts recorded at the RCoA's Anaesthesia 2024 conference in Glasgow Professor Malcolm Sim discusses his research into the science of metabolomics, and its role in the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.

    Metabolomics sits at the end of an 'omics' chain, after genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. It can help 'pierce the cloud' of uncertainty around sepsis, leading to better diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.

    Malcolm talks about the future of this research area and the opportunity to tailor therapies to a person's genetic or metabolic profile. He talks about how he was drawn towards anaesthesia, and what his other love - flying - has in common with the speciality.
