A Look Behind the Operating Room Drapes | ND MD

[@balthezor]

You reminded me how shitty it was to be a med student trying to impress attendings. I did my elective anesthesia rotation at a small hospital, 4 ORs. They let me do everything. That is when I decided to do anesthesia. -Attending Anesthesiologist for past 7 years.

[@ItsMeTish2.0]

You are lucky and blessed. I'm premed now, studying and I look forward to be where you are one day soon

[@balthezor]

@@ItsMeTish2.0 you forgot hard work. Takes hard work, luck and being blessed.

Bringing clubs on a plane to up there isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do😂 but just name the course and I’ll be there

[@shad3128]

As a certified anesthesia tech, manager, and now BSN student, this was a great vid. Will be in my crna program winter of next year. Glad you enjoyed your elective! Anesthesia is the shizz

[@brunerguy1]

You have very clear standards of what your learning involves. Do well, Andy!

[@michkaza]

Ahhh thank u for posting another Anes-related vid! ❤️

[@cameronberg3331]

As someone who is very interested in anaesthesia, this was great to see!

With that backswing I think my guy chose the wrong career

Yay, a new video!

[@richtigress1652]

My dad’s an Anaesthetist and although it looks good I don’t want to become one and you giving an insight into this specialty is really nice however nothing can change my mind from neurosurgery though!

[@vivienmakhoul]

this video is amazing, love the snippets from amboss (ready 4 ms maids)

[@NDMD]

best tool for clerkships :)

And thank you for what you do it’s tough but you doing this shows your are tougher and you can do this - from a high school student that wants to become a paediatric neurosurgeon ❤

[@PoorManStJohn]

medical students should be #1 priority for intubations and procedures over all other learners, after residents.

[@NDMD]

🤷‍♂️ everyone needs to learn so I get it

[@shad3128]

Chill.

[@PoorManStJohn]

@@shad3128 thanks Chad that helped

[@bettysmith4527]

I disagree, medical students have more than enough time to learn intubation and other skills, other students, like paramedic students have about two weeks to get in as many airways as they can!

[@Ahlem-S]

Love this video 👍🏻

[@Kris-sw1mc]

ok… but why not use a video blade first for intubation?

[@bettysmith4527]

As a medic I can tell you because some day your video laryngoscope will be broken, or you will be upstairs trying to intubate a blood or vomit filled airway and guess what, the camera isn't going to help your there, so you best know how to use a traditional laryngoscope blade, or you may go somewhere where that is not available. On your first few intubations you should also be focused on proper technique, like avoiding the teeth, and not on looking at a video screen! The good part, however, the positive with the Mcgrath is that it is used in the same manner as a traditional Mac blade, so even if their airway is full of whatever, or the camera craps the bed, you can still use it, add in a boogie if needed and you are good to go!

[@asdfjklasdfjkl408]

Coming from a medical student and current paramedic, this MAKES ME SO FRUSTRATED when paramedic students steal tubes from med students. Paramedics are good at what they do, but they can always use BLS maneuvers such as a BVM and OPA/NPA (and if we are being honest, some of them have NO business intubating patients, but that is another argument for another day). Physicians are the ones who have the final say and responsibility over an airway... curious to hear your thoughts on that.

[@bettysmith4527]

What an arrogant comment! I am a paramedic, and have been for 18 years, and your comment lacks any evidence, unless you want to produce it? I have had plenty of patients who needed intubation on scene, ie their airway was full of blood/vomit, their airway was swelling, or they were in respiratory failure and required RSI on scene. I am damn sure a paramedic student, who spends max two weeks in the OR to learn intubation and other airway maneuvers, should take precedence over a medical student who isn't even in residency yet, or a resident who will have YEARS to practice intubations while being under the watchful eye of an attending)! On my next call, should I wait until a physician shows up to "make the final say over the airway" (which isn't going to happen, since the physicians are at the hospital, and not on my scene)? How quickly you forgot where you came from, and I am sure your EMS colleagues had a party after you left, or they will when you finally do leave, and not because they will miss you! BTW times have changed, us lowly paramedics now have more tools for intubation such as video laryngoscopy, and for the last decade plus we have been carrying boogies! They even let us have ventilators now, even on 911 calls, go figure, and we DON"T EVEN HAVE TO CALL A PHYSICIAN TO make "the final say over the airway". IF you are even a paramedic, and have any brains, you would realize there is no time to call a physician to decide how to salvage a patient who is loosing their airway, or their ability to ventilate themselves! I bet you don't even get through residency, and I am sure you are in a DO program, so your choices will be limited anyway, but the good news is they will be putting you in your place repeatedly, until they finally kick you out!
