Summary

This on-demand teaching session features Dr. Alistair, a neurosurgery registrar, who gives a comprehensive talk on cranial emergencies. Alistair discusses the necessary preparation for MCSPart A and Part B, refreshes vital neuroanatomy, delves into the physiology and management of intracranial pressure and head injury, and acquaints attendees with vascular, CSF, and oncological neuro emergencies. The course presents a great opportunity for medical professionals to enhance their knowledge and competence in handling cranial emergencies.

Description

Alistair did his undergraduate training at UCL and went on to an academic foundation programme post at Addenbrookes Hospital and Cambridge University working in the Brain Imaging Lab. During his F2 he taught as a clinical supervisor for Gonville and Caius student being awarded excellence in teaching award two years running and becoming an associate fellow of the Higher Education Academy. After foundation training, he was a Junior Anatomy Demonstrator for Cambridge University with clinical placement in Plastic Surgery out of term times. During this year he also completed a PGCert in medical education with the Institute of Higher Education, Cambridge Uni. Moving to London to start Neurosurgical training he has rotated between Imperial College Hospital, The Royal London Hospital and Queens, Romford teaching neurosurgical specific lectures for medical students for each affiliated university as part of their MBBS course. He continues to undertake research during his training and has been co-author for a number of publications. He has interest in vascular and skull base neurosurgical pathologies and treatments.

Learning objectives

  1. Understand the concepts of neuroanatomy that are expected at an MRC S level.
  2. Grasp the understanding of intracranial pressure and head injuries, including their physiology and management.
  3. Be able to identify and understand the treatment of vascular CSF and oncological neuro emergencies.
  4. Develop the ability to navigate through technology platforms to carry out presentations online and deal with technical difficulties.
  5. Review and comprehend the basic anatomy of the scalp and its connection to neurosurgery.

Hi, Alista. Hello. Can you hear me? Can you hear me now? Yeah. Yeah. And can you see me now? Yes, great. It took me a while to find the link. Um No worries. How are you? I'm very well. Thank you. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. Do not share a window for the slides. It might be best if you upload it as a um PDF onto metal. If that's possible. How do I do that? Uh If you click on share and you can click on share PDF. So on the bottom at the bottom of your screen, there's a an icon with an arrow. If you click into it, there will be an option to share your PDF. I've only got change the house or settings present now turn camera off, turn microphone off chat, people suggestions. That's all I've got. Um Let's see if I can. Oh, sorry, I accidentally turned your your microphone off. It's all right. Can continue it on. Um Is there no present now present now option? Yeah. Yeah. If you click onto it, is there a share a PDF? Uh OK. Click that uh Yeah, share a PDF. So that's what we want. OK. Let me make it a PDF. Give me one sec oh file export. F oh I'll lose animations. Mm or you can try a share a full screen, share an entire screen. Let's let's try it. And if not then I'll do a P DFI. Haven't got that many animations. It's just some of the, some of the images were are overlaid so you'll only get one image, you know, the very final one. Yeah. Um Fine. Let's share the entire screen to share your screen. I have to give it permission. Sorry, I should, I was light. No, the No. So did you want to do plastics before you went into neuro? Um No, I just, it was a great job and you know, you're gonna learn loads when you, you know, good tissue handling and um things like that if you do a plastic job. So I thought it would be really good for me. Fair enough. I was wondering maybe like why you stopped cardiopath? Uh No, it was, the intention was always in your surgery. F three was um a anatomy demonstration on plastic. So I just thought this is a great uh great job. Right. Right. Um I have to restart the browser in order to share anything with this website. Um Which room would you rather he in to share anything after you start my browser? It'll be very quick. Yeah. Sounds good. Um Sorry. No, no, don't worry. Um I'll just quit it. Ok, let's does them. Yeah. Ok. This is good. This is working. Oh, that's good. So I should check. Hm, let me share this screen and then let me put this here and play. Do you see a slide? Yeah, I see a slide. Did it and it moved. Yeah, it moves, it moves. Yeah. Ok. Cool. Great. OK. I'll quickly introduce you and then you can take us away. Um So welcome everyone. Alistair is a neurosurgery registrar and he'll be giving us a talk on cranial emergencies. So he did his undergraduate training at UCL and went on to an academic foundation program post at Edin Brooks Hospital at Cambridge University. After foundation training, he was a junior anatomy demonstrator for Cambridge University with clinical placement in plastic surgery out of term times, moving to London to start neurosurgical training. He has rotated between Imperial College Hospital, the Royal London Hospital and Queens as well as Rumford teaching neurosurg neurosurgical specific lectures for medical students for each affiliated university as part of the MA BS scores. He continues to undertake research during his training and has been co-author for a number of publications. He has interest in vascular and skull base, neurosurgical pathologies and treatments. And without further ado let's have Alistair give us a talk. Well, thank you very much for the uh kind introduction. I'm sorry, I'm running a bit late. It's entirely my own fault. Um I can't see anything. So I don't know if there are people on online or if you can even talk back to me at all. Um, so, so they can't speak, um, a chat. Ok. Fine. Um, ok, so not, it won't be didactic in that case, I'll just talk at you. So, um, hopefully I can keep it as entertaining as possible and keep you all awake at what's, um, getting to be slightly late. So, um, I was asked to give a talk on cranial emergencies for, er, the purposes of MRC S. Um, part A, I can see that as part of this, er, program, we've had a, a few talks actually by neurosurgeons and one of them last month was about kind of head injury and, and traumatic brain injuries. Uh, some of my talk will go over that but I'll try gloss through it cos I'm sure you've kind of, since you've heard it already, you probably don't want to get that much out of it today. Um, if people want me to talk a little bit more about it or slow down, just stick it in the chat and somebody shout out and, and I can slow down at that point. Uh, otherwise the aim of today will be to just brush up on some of the neuroanatomy that's expected, uh, to be known at an MRC S level, um, discuss kind of intracranial pressure and head injury. As I mentioned, I'll, um, talk about that a little bit less since you've had it already understand the physiology and management of it. Uh, and talk about vascular CSF and oncological neuro emergencies in a little bit more detail. So, um, as pretty much any surgical talk starts, we'll discuss anatomy. Um, which I'm sure you'll be very happy to hear about. Yeah, there's, um, a number of anatomical, uh, parts of the body that are kind of expected to know for mcs PA, both part A and part B. Um NSY can be very, very dry. Um It can be very hard to listen to somebody talk about it. I'll try to make it as interesting as possible, but it really is just fact, fact learning for the most part. But if I can interweave some of those facts with some uh interesting clinical aspects, hopefully it'll just um reinforce it a little bit better. Uh We'll start with the very basics of the scalp. Um.
