Discussions on anesthesia and the brain
MedEd Learning Experience podcast
Our new MedEd Learning Experience podcast series provides brief, interview-style discussions with clinical experts. Our discussions on anesthesia and the brain will feature conversations with Dr. Bob Thiele, Dr. TJ Gan, and Dr. Stephen Bader. These discussions will be centered around topics such as raw to processed EEG, use of TIVA in enhanced recovery, processed EEG monitoring and postoperative outcomes, and more. The goal of this program is to get closer to the patient and delve into the challenges and impact of each technology in practice. We also feature additional playlists focused on topics like routine intubation with video laryngoscopy, the value of NIRS in clinical practice in the NICU, and more.
Raw to processed EEG
Part 1: How are we currently monitoring the brain during surgery?
February 18, 2022
For this segment, we discuss how we are currently monitoring the brain during surgery. To help provide insight into this topic is Dr. Bob Thiele, assistant professor and co-director of the enhanced recovery after surgery program at University of Virginia.
Part 3: The Fourier theorem and why it is important to understand EEG
March 15, 2022
For this segment, we discuss the Fourier theorem and how it can help us understand EEG. To help provide insight into this is Dr. Bob Thiele, assistant professor and co-director of the enhanced recovery after surgery program at University of Virginia.
Use of TIVA in enhanced recovery
Part 2: How does BIS™ help deliver TIVA more effectively?
April 26, 2022
For this segment, we find out how BIS™ can help the anesthesiology team deliver TIVA more effectively. Dr. TJ Gan provides his insight. Brain monitoring is an adjunctive technology that should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or clinical decision-making.
Part 4: BIS™ monitoring in TIVA
May 10, 2022
For this segment, we dive into BIS™ monitoring in TIVA and how it may help decrease postoperative delirium. To help answer this question is Dr. TJ Gan. Brain monitoring is an adjunctive technology that should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or clinical decision making.
Processed EEG monitoring and postoperative outcomes
Part 5: Enhanced recovery after surgery
June 14, 2022
We dive into enhanced recovery and discuss how BIS™ can be included in the protocol.
The safe and effective use of BIS™
Part 1: BIS™ value
June 21, 2022
We discuss the BIS™ monitor value range and what range the value should be kept between.
Part 2: Three phases
June 28, 2022
We discuss the three phases of BIS™ monitoring and how they can potentially provide useful information during anesthesia.
Part 5: Sudden changes
July 19, 2022
We discuss what should be done if there are sudden changes in BIS™ monitoring values.
