  • Anaesthesia 2024 - metabolomics and sepsis

    Anaesthesia 2024 - metabolomics and sepsis
    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.

  • Anaesthesia 2024 podcast - Transoral robotic surgery

    Anaesthesia 2024 podcast - Transoral robotic surgery
    Jun 17 2024
    In this first of a series of podcasts recorded at the RCoA's Anaesthesia 2024 conference in Glasgow Ms Jenny Montgomery, Consultant ENT Head & Neck Surgeon, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, discusses her work in transoral robotic surgery (TORS).

    Jenny describes how TORS, only recently available to patients in Scotland, is a minimally-invasive surgery that allows access to areas of the throat that would previously have been hard to reach. This tool is especially useful in the west of Scotland, where rates of head and neck cancer are especially high, and can help limit the need for follow-up radio- or chemotherapy.

    Jenny also discusses the future of robotic surgery, especially for ENT, and how her anaesthetic colleagues can think about working with robotic surgical devices for head and neck surgery.
