Summary

This informative on-demand teaching session is targeted at medical professionals seeking to revise key topics in anaesthesia and intensive care from the UKMLA content map. The session covers integral learning objectives such as recognising and managing acute conditions, understanding the ASA grading system, and recognising drugs used in anaesthesia. Engaging revision material such as MCQs covering scenarios like allergic reactions, cardiac arrest management, and complications from anaesthesia are also included. Not only will you be revising crucial information, but this session also tests your ability to apply that knowledge in real-world situations. This is a must-attend session for anyone looking to consolidate their learnings in anaesthetics and intensive care medicine.

Description

Slide deck for our revision session on Anaesthetics and Critical Care, led by Dr Matthew Parks (Anaesthetics CT3), and covers exam-style MCQ questions on core topics final year students may be examined on

Learning objectives

  1. Analyze, answer, and discuss multiple choice questions covering core topics in anaesthesia and intensive care.
  2. Understand, explain, and apply the ASA grading system during clinical scenarios.
  3. Ability to identify and discuss common drugs used in anaesthesia and intensive care and consider their mechanisms of action, side effects, indications and contraindications.
  4. Learn to manage acute or emergent conditions in anaesthesia and intensive care through case-based scenarios.
  5. Develop the ability to effectively perform a medicine reconciliation process and make decisions on which drugs to cease during the peri-operative period using clinical reasoning.
