ANZCA Part 1 SAQs

Vibhushan Manchandapodcasters.spotify.com
My personal collection of my model answers for a bunch of SAQs for the ANZCA part one exam. Only recorded after I’ve managed to write an 8-10 min answer rather than including long explanations. Derived from various textbooks and model answers (propofol dreams, ketamine nightmares, adrenaline memories). This is not medical advice for individuals, nor is it clinical advice for healthcare professionals.

Table at the start

Aug 05, 20223 min

IPPV and CO

More than just a valsalva but similar principles. Don’t forget frank starling graph and indirect effects.

Aug 04, 20223 min

Ageing and the respiratory system

Weirdly not put into a section of its own in Nunn’s or West’s. Ended up using deranged physiology for most of it. Use a graph for FRC and CC.

Aug 02, 20222 min

CO2 carriage in the blood

Brandis very good again. Do a graph at the end with arterial and venous lines showing Haldane effect.

Aug 02, 20222 min

Foetal and adult Hb

Brandis is my pick for this question. Graphs I’ve talked about are from there too.

Aug 02, 20222 min

Preload

Filling pressure, compliance, afterload. Then section on IPPV/SV for showing off.

Work of breathing

Hasn’t come up in 10 years and poor pass rate, core topic

Jul 28, 20223 min

Pneumotachograph

Not been asked for a while, much easier to approach and understand this question once you have a good grasp of viscosity/density and laminar/turbulent flow

How LAs prevent conduction of action potentials

Lots of different terminology for the states of VDNaC and the gates. Voltage = M gate (outer gate). Time = H gate (inner gate). Resting = closed M open H. Active = both open. Inactive = open M closed H.
