GasGasGas - RemiFentanil and the Minto TCI Model

GasGasGas - The FRCA Primary Exam Podcast ·

2025/06/09

Remifentanil is an anaesthetist’s dream: ultra-short acting, reliably titratable, and deeply potent. This episode takes a dual-pronged approach—covering both the FRCA-relevant pharmacology of remifentanil and introducing the Minto target-controlled infusion (TCI) model.

GasGasGas - Neuraxial Opiates for the FRCA Primary

GasGasGas - The FRCA Primary Exam Podcast ·

2025/06/02

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

GasGasGas - Diamorphine for the FRCA Primary

GasGasGas - The FRCA Primary Exam Podcast ·

2025/05/30

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

GasGasGas - The FRCA Primary Exam Podcast ·

2025/05/01

In this episode of GasGasGas, we explore Alfentanil, a short-acting μ-opioid receptor agonist pivotal for anaesthetic practice. Discovered in 1976 by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Alfentanil remains a super handy agent, especially for (modified) rapid-sequence inductions and acute pain management.Show notes at https://gasgasgas.uk/alfentanil-for-the-frca-primary/ ———————— Dr Gas Lurks on: BlueSky: Gas Gas Gas (@gasgasgaspodcast.bsky.social) X / Twitter: GasGasGasFRCA (@GasGasGasFRCA) / X FaceBook:
