  E183: Reducing Dural Puncture During Epidural Placement

  Aug 19, 20261h 3m

  In this episode, Cole and Tanner sit down with Mike Dolphin, founder and CEO of GuideStar, to talk all things epidurals—specifically the risk of accidental dural puncture and why preventing it matters for both providers and patients. They break down why epidural placement can be so challenging, the potential short- and long-term effects of a dural puncture, and how new technology may help make the process more precise. Mike also introduces EpiZact, a device designed to detect loss of resistance and help stop the epidural needle at the right moment. If you want to see EpiZact in action and meet Mike in person, be sure to find him at the AANA conference in Boston this coming weekend August 21-25!

  E178: Emergence Part 1

  May 15, 20266 minS0

  <p>In this episode of Core Anesthesia, Cole and Tanner tackle emergence — basically, the art of waking a patient up from anesthesia and getting them safely to recovery. They swap stories, compare techniques, and pretty much disagree on everything from when to reverse paralytics to how to wean off the gas. The big takeaway? There's no single right way to do this, which is exactly why it takes years to get good at it. Stick around for part two, where they'll get into deep extubation, laryngospasm, and other tricks of the trade.</p><p>Support the show</p><p>To ac...
