What Anesthesia Residents Watched Most in July

3 high-yield lectures from July that deserve a place in your revision list 

July’s most-viewed sessions on Conceptual Anesthesia covered exactly the kind of topics residents need during preparation—ICU pharmacology, neuroanesthesia, and DNB theory questions. 

From choosing the right drug in a critical care situation to planning anesthesia for aneurysmal SAH and structuring a 5-mark DNB answer, these sessions go beyond simply telling you what to remember—they help you understand why and how to apply it. 

If you missed them in July, August is a good time to catch up. 

July’s Most-Viewed Conceptual Anesthesia Lectures

01 | ICU Pharmacology MCQs

5 High-Yield Questions with Explanations l Dr. Payel Bose

What makes this session worth watching? 

ICU pharmacology becomes much easier when you connect each drug to the clinical situation. This session uses 5 high-yield MCQs to revise important critical care drugs through practical decision-making. 

You’ll revise: 

  • First-line vasopressor in septic shock
  • Preferred sedation for mechanically ventilated patients
  • Opioid choice in acute kidney injury
  • Neuromuscular blocker in severe ARDS
  • Pharmacological management of hyperactive ICU delirium  

Why watch it? 
A quick, MCQ-based revision session that helps you connect drug choice → patient condition → clinical reasoning, making it useful for both exams and ICU practice. 

Best suited for: MD Anesthesiology | DNB Anesthesia | DrNB Critical Care | NEET SS 

👉 Watch this session and strengthen your ICU pharmacology revision. 

02 | Anesthesia Management for Coiling in Aneurysmal SAH

Complete Guide | Dr. Unmesh Bedekar

Aneurysmal SAH is an emergency where anesthetic planning matters at every step. 

This comprehensive session takes you through anesthesia management for endovascular coiling, from understanding the pathology to preoperative assessment and intraoperative hemodynamic goals. 

Key areas covered: 

  • Aneurysmal SAH and intracranial aneurysms
  • Risk factors and clinical presentation
  • Preoperative evaluation and investigations
  • Anesthetic considerations in the DSA lab
  • Hemodynamic goals and monitoring
  • Perioperative management
  • High-yield neuroanesthesia concepts  

Why watch it? 
Because neuroanesthesia questions often test your ability to connect pathophysiology with anesthetic goals. This lecture brings those connections together in one structured session. 

Best suited for: DNB Anesthesia | MD Anesthesiology | DA | PDCC | DM Critical Care | NEET PG | NEET SS

03 | DNB October 2025 Paper 4, Dr. JHANVI BAJAJ

Portal Hypertension — 5 Marks | Previous Year Question Explained

Preparing for DNB Anesthesia theory? This is the kind of session you should not skip. 

Dr. Jhanvi Bajaj breaks down Portal Hypertension as a previous-year DNB question and explains what you need to include when writing a 5-mark answer. 

The session covers: 

  • Definition and normal portal pressure  
  • HVPG  
  • Portal vein anatomy and formation  
  • Classification and causes  
  • Clinical features and complications  
  • Esophageal varices and ascites  
  • Investigations  
  • Management  
  • Variceal bleeding  
  • TIPS  
  • High-yield DNB exam points  

Why watch it? 
Knowing the topic is one thing. Knowing how to structure it in a theory answer is another. This session helps you turn a broad topic into a structured, exam-ready answer. 

Best suited for: DNB Anesthesia | MD Anesthesia | Postgraduate theory preparation 

👉 Watch the session on youtube and revise the question before your next theory session. 

Key Takeaways From July’s Most-Viewed Sessions

If you watch only three lectures this month, take these three learning points with you:

Portal Hypertension - 5 Marks | Previous Year Question Explained

Don’t just memorize drugs. Know the clinical situation that determines your drug choice.

Neuroanesthesia

In aneurysmal SAH, successful anesthesia management depends on understanding hemodynamic goals, monitoring and perioperative priorities. 

DNB Theory

For theory exams, knowing the topic isn’t enough. Learn how to structure your answer and hit the points that matter. 

Your August Revision Checklist

☐ Revise ICU pharmacology through MCQs 
☐ Strengthen your neuroanesthesia concepts 
☐ Practice structured DNB theory answers 

And if these topics are already on your revision list, don’t study them from scattered sources. Use structured, concept-based lectures that help you understand, revise and apply the topic.
