NOTE: There is an error in the audio recording regarding the dosing units for dexmedetomidine. I say on the podcast that the dosing units are mcg/kg/min which is INCORRECT. The correct dosing units are mcg/kg/HOUR. I have corrected this in the accompanying slides. Thanks to Melanie Browder for picking this up!
Good luck to the recent graduates taking their written board exam on July 29th!

In this episode I review the basic medication setup for the operating room including premedication, induction, neuromuscular blockade, antibiotics, reversal and antiemetics. I discuss weight based dosing and comment on a few alternatives to consider once you have the basic setup down. This episode should be useful for new CA-1s getting started in the OR but I would also like to ask senior residents to comment on what their basic setup is and how it may differ from what I’ve mentioned here.
