Upper BottomWhat is "cheat mode" and how can you navigate early sobriety using an air balloon?Hosts Ollie and Cess reveal their early challenges with going sober – and offer a useful analogy of pals being lifted away on a hot air balloon – before realising the obvious and unforeseen benefits of not boozing. Mindset is everything, and not drinking – rather than moderating drinking – could be the game-changer for you, too.The pair also tackle listeners' questions, salute Sir Billy Connolly, who is closing in on 40 years sober, and pour cold water on "Safety Shot" – a new drink that claims to reduce hangovers.https://upperbottompodcast.com/https://www.instagram.com/upperbottompodcast

Neuro ResusPulmonary PerfusionBy Steve Morgan & Sophie Connolly Welcome back to the Basic Science Clinic podcast on ICN. Post-hiatus we are ready to reinvigorate the examination of oxygen cascade physiology, from the prevailing atmosphere down to the only organelle that boasts its own bespoke genome, the mitochondrion. In the last podcast we decomposed the minutiae of passive respiratory gas diffusion across the alveolar capillary membrane. Prior to expounding the pre-eminence of V/Q ratios in determining gas exchange sufficiency, we need to publically vivisect the pulmonary circulation to bring you the belated Raw Science 11, pulmonary perfusion.

Neuro ResuslearnECMO 5: ECMO Haemodynamicsby Steve Morgan & Sophie Connolly Today we are going to cover the essentials of ECMO haemodynamics. Haemodynamics literally means blood movement and thus is the physical study of flowing blood and the structures through which it flows. In bedside vernacular we tend to use haemodynamics to refer to accessible surrogate measurements of cardiovascular performance, such as vascular and chamber pressures or quantifications of macrocirculatory blood flow. To understand the haemodynamic effects of ECMO we will consider the effects of the in-parallel VA circuit and the in-series VV circuit separately. The effect on cardiac performance can...

Gas exchange is the serial interconnection of ventilation, diffusion and perfusion. Alveolar gas composition is determined by amount and type of gases delivered by ventilation, the rate and direction of gas diffusion, and the pulmonary blood flow which continuously recalibrates partial pressure gradients to direct oxygen...
