Show Notes

Neuro specialist anaesthetist, Dr Zidar breaks down anaesthesia and what happens to us today. Discussing evolution from “barbaric times”, using tourniquets on limbs and gagging patients, vs 20th century routine anaesthetic practice and safety in medicine.

We touch on what happens to our bodies while we are asleep, research around anaesthesia. The use of sodium thiopentone and evolution of ketamine, cocaine and heroin. Where it all began.
