  1. Hello, long-time listener here. Can you talk about the benefits of low-volume-high-rate ventilation in the OR, what types of cases it’s most beneficial for, and does the anesthesia community think that this lung-protective ventilation should only apply to ICU patients? Thanks, Ro

    1. Hi Ro,

      I assume you are referring to lung protective ventilation strategies for patients WITHOUT ARDS. Is so, the evidence we have is that it is probably beneficial. Our goal is to start all patients at 6cc/kg of predicted body weight. This should apply to all patients, regardless of whether they are going to the ICU or not.

      See the following studies for more information:

  2. Hi there,

    thank you for asking the question of the reality of pain (a conscious sensation) vs. neurovegetative symptoms resulting from nociception pathways activation.

    Opioid free anesthesia is my daily practice and we aim at controlling the hemodynamics with dexmed, IV lido and ketamine +/- magnesium without perioperative opiates which were introduced in anesthesia ONLY as hemodynamic stabilizers as most textbooks rightfully state…. we tend to forget that it has never been a problem of pain during anesthesia
