#326 Corneal Abrasions After Surgery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eye pain in the PACU can trigger a reflex page to ophthalmology, but that reflex is not always the safest or most efficient choice. We provide considerations for perioperative corneal abrasions including why most are superficial epithelial injuries that heal quickly and how an anesthesia-led protocol can deliver fast relief without missing the rare dangerous presentation. If you’ve been unsure when a consult is truly necessary, this conversation gives you a practical, defensible path forward....
#325 APSF Podcast Takeover: The HSSIB with CEO Dr. Rosie Benneyworth From The Medical Safety Podcast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A patient gets harmed, everyone wants answers, and the system too often responds with blame, silence, or a slow-moving inquiry that arrives years after the frontline has moved on. Today, we are hosting a special podcast takeover show from The Medical Safety Podcast. Hosted by Dr. Adam Shehata (former professional pilot turned physician) and Dr. Amir Hamid (anesthetist and emergency medicine physician), The Medical Safety Podcast focuses on how to improve our healthcare system by integra...
#324 Endotracheal Tubes Are Not All The Same (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your airway cart might look fully stocked, but one quiet change can reshape an entire intubation: a different endotracheal tube brand, a new material formulation, a redesigned cuff, or changes in diameter measurements.

#323 How Technology Can Speed Training And Strengthen Anesthesia Patient Safety (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your first day in anesthesia can be overwhelming with so many numbers, dials, alarms, and decisions that all land at once, and the stakes are high. We sit down with Dr. Lahiru Amaratanga to ask a simple question with big implications for anesthesia patient safety: how can technology make clinicians learn faster without losing the human touch that keeps patients safe? We dig into practical education innovation, starting with AI coaching and moving toward a “trainee dashboard” that could track...
#322 Designing Safer Anesthesia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The fastest way to improve anesthesia patient safety is often to stop asking people to be perfect and start redesigning the world they work in. Dr. Alli Bechtel sits down with Dr. Lahiru Amaratunge, a consultant anesthetist in Melbourne, to unpack how human factors engineering, smarter workflows, and better training systems can prevent harm before it happens. We trace Lahiru’s path from supervising medical students to building the ABCs of Anesthesia YouTube channel and the Anesthesia Collect...
