Top Viewed Sessions of May – Catch Up Before Everyone Else Does!
Hey Doctor,
While you were busy saving lives, thousands of your peers were tuning into some of the most clinically relevant and exam-focused sessions we’ve ever released on Conceptual Anesthesia. If you haven’t watched these yet, you might be missing out on the exact concepts that could elevate your next case discussion, viva, or ICU round.
Let’s break down the Top 5 Most-Viewed Sessions of May, each packed with 5 quick takeaways to help you revise smart and stay ahead.
1. Anesthesia for Fetal Surgery By Dr. Vinisha Shah
In this detailed lecture, Dr. Vinisha Shah breaks down the complex and rapidly evolving field of fetal surgery anesthesia—a critical component of maternal-fetal medicine.
Top 5 Takeaways:
- Understanding how fetal and maternal anesthesia differ physiologically
- Classification and anesthesia approach for different fetal surgeries
- Importance of fetal pain perception and fetal analgesia
- Insight into fetal circulation and lung development
- Balancing maternal and fetal safety during procedures
👉 A must-watch for: Anesthesiologists, Obstetricians, and Fetal Medicine practitioners
2. Anesthesia Management in Maxillofacial Trauma By Dr. Pallavi Waghalkar
In this VIdeo, Dr. Pallavi Waghalkar (Professor of Anesthesiology) Explain the critical anesthesia considerations for patients undergoing surgery for maxillofacial trauma. In this high-stakes clinical situation, airway management is often the biggest challenge.
Top 5 Takeaways:
- How to manage airways in panfacial and mandibular fractures
- Differentiating upper, mid, and lower facial injuries (Le Fort types)
- Anesthesia protocols for penetrating, blunt, and blast trauma
- Addressing cervical spine precautions and full-stomach situations
- WFSA 2025 checklist-based approach to trauma airway management
👉 Critical for: Emergency OT settings, PG students, and ICU anesthesiologists
3. Newer Antibiotics in Critical Care By Dr. Saurabh Taneja
In this Video, Dr. Saurabh Taneja sheds light on the urgent need for newer antibiotics in critical care, especially in the face of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. As ICU infections become increasingly difficult to treat, understanding the evolving landscape of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is essential for every clinician.
Top 5 Takeaways:
- Current resistance patterns and the need for newer antimicrobials
- Ambler classification: Beta-lactamases and their clinical impact
- Global WHO priority pathogens list explained
- Understanding MDR terms: CRE, CRAB, ESBL, MBL
- A look at upcoming antibiotics and stewardship strategies
👉 Highly relevant for: ICU Doctors, PGs, and anyone managing sepsis and resistant infections
4. Neuromuscular Monitoring By Dr. Kiran Mahendru
Neuromuscular Monitoring is one of the most vital topics in Anesthesia Residency and is often misunderstood.
Top 5 Takeaways:
- Core physiology of the neuromuscular junction
- ASA 2023 guidelines and monitoring recommendations
- Clinical importance of preventing residual paralysis
- Nerve stimulation sites and TOF patterns
- Quantal theory and safety margin in transmission
5. . ICU-Acquired Weakness (ICUAW) By Dr. Mohd. Saif Khan
In this informative video, Dr. Mohd. Saif Khan explains ICU-Acquired Weakness (ICUAW) — a critical and often overlooked complication in critically ill patients, particularly those recovering from prolonged ICU stays and mechanical ventilation.
Top 5 Takeaways:
- Definition, risk factors, and types of ICUAW (CIM, CIP)
- Role of mechanical ventilation and immobility in muscle loss
- Early rehabilitation strategies in the ICU
- Diagnostic approach using clinical and electrophysiological tools
- Prognosis and long-term impact on patient recovery
👉 Essential for: ICU clinicians, critical care fellows, and anaesthesia residents
