Opioids are a significant cornerstone of anaesthetic practice, forming part of the triad of anaesthesia with their analgesic properties. We utilize these analgesic properties not just because "surgery hurts," but also because our interventions cause discomfort - laryngoscopy being a prime example.   Each opiate has distinct pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties that make it a better (or worse) choice for individual scenarios. This episode focuses on making sensible comparisons between morphine, fentanyl, alfentanil, and remifentanil - when and where to choose each one.

In this explainer episode of GasGasGas, James delves into the joyful complexities of neuraxial opiate pharmacology. Why do we bother putting opiates into this space at all? What governs their journey, how do they behave once administered, and what clinical pearls can be drawn from their behaviour? This episode follows the journey of a single opioid molecule through the fatty labyrinth of the epidural space, across barriers, and into its final destination: the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.   Show notes at: https://gasga ———————— Dr Gas Lurks on:  BlueSky: Gas Gas Gas (@gasgasgaspodcast.bsky.social) X / Twitter: GasGasGasFRCA (@GasGasGasFRCA) / X FaceBook: Facebook - Gas Gas Gas Website: www.gasgasgas.uk ———————— We have a catalogs of Podcast and Vivacast episodes here!  Primary FRCA Podcast Catalog Primary FRCA VivaCast Catalog ———————— #FOAMed #frcaprimary #frca #Anaesthetics #Anaesthesia  #Pharmacology #Physiology A Primary FRCA podcast ———————— Want to have a chat? james@gasgasgas.uk  ———————— Disclaimer / Sage Advice All content is educational in nature, but is never intended to be acted upon independent of organised educational and training structures, and under appropriate supervision for your stage of training.  This information is not a suitable substitute for medical advice and requests for medical advice will not be acted upon.

In this episode of Gas, Gas, Gas, we dive deep into the pharmacology of diamorphine — also known by its more notorious street name, heroin. Diamorphine is a synthetic diacetylated derivative of morphine, and this episode details its mechanism of action, clinical applications, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and side effect profile. The episode is structured to support FRCA Primary revision with an irrelevant clinical anecdote (but sound advice I would argue) and exam-focused clarity.   Show notes at: https://gasgasgas.uk/diamorphine-for-the-frca-primary/  ———————— Dr Gas Lurks on:  BlueSky: Gas Gas Gas (@gasgasgaspodcast.bsky.social) X / Twitter: GasGasGasFRCA (@GasGasGasFRCA) / X FaceBook: Facebook - Gas Gas Gas Website: www.gasgasgas.uk ———————— We have a catalogs of Podcast and Vivacast episodes here!  Primary FRCA Podcast Catalog Primary FRCA VivaCast Catalog ———————— #FOAMed #frcaprimary #frca #Anaesthetics #Anaesthesia  #Pharmacology #Physiology A Primary FRCA podcast ———————— Want to have a chat? james@gasgasgas.uk  ———————— Disclaimer / Sage Advice All content is educational in nature, but is never intended to be acted upon independent of organised educational and training structures, and under appropriate supervision for your stage of training.  This information is not a suitable substitute for medical advice and requests for medical advice will not be acted upon.

Episode Description:In this episode of GasGasGas, we a plunge into the pharmacology of oxycodone, a potent semi-synthetic opioid analgesic widely used in perioperative and chronic pain settings. Aimed at FRCA Primary candidates and anaesthetic trainees, this episode explores oxycodone's mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics, as well as its clinical indications, side effect profile, and relevance in anaesthesia and acute pain management. We dissect its action on mu-opioid receptors, compare it to morphine and other opioids, and review evidence regarding oral vs intravenous formulations, metabolism via CYP450 enzymes (notably CYP3A4 and CYP2D6), and implications for renal and hepatic impairment. Key FRCA-focused discussions include its use in multimodal analgesia, potential for respiratory depression, and issues of dependence and controlled drug legislation.

Welcome back to Gas, Gas, Gas—the podcast that breaks complex anaesthesia concepts into digestible, high-yield episodes. Today, we’re doing a deep dive into the TIVA Models for Propofol particularly the: Marsh, Schneider, and Eleveld TCI models. This isn’t just academic—understanding the underpinnings of these models means you can dose more precisely, tailor your anaesthetic plan to the patient in front of you, and avoid the classic pitfalls of blindly trusting a pump. If you’re prepping for the FRCA or just want to master the ‘why’ behind TCI behaviour, you’re in the right place. ———————— Dr Gas Lurks on:  BlueSky: Gas Gas Gas (@gasgasgaspodcast.bsky.social) X / Twitter: GasGasGasFRCA (@GasGasGasFRCA) / X FaceBook: Facebook - Gas Gas Gas Website: www.gasgasgas.uk ———————— We have a catalogs of Podcast and Vivacast episodes here!  Primary FRCA Podcast Catalog Primary FRCA VivaCast Catalog ———————— FOAMed # frcaprimary # frca # Anaesthetics # Anaesthesia  # Pharmacology # Physiology  ———————— Want to have a chat? james@gasgasgas.uk  ———————— Disclaimer / Sage Advice All content is educational in nature, but is never intended to be acted upon independent of organised educational and training structures, and under appropriate supervision for your stage of training.  This information is not a suitable substitute for medical advice and requests for medical advice will not be acted upon.
