GasGasGas - Neuraxial Opiates for the FRCA Primary
In this explainer episode of GasGasGas, James delves into the joyful complexities of neuraxial opiate pharmacology. Why do we bother putting opiates into this space at all? What governs their journey, how do they behave once administered, and what clinical pearls can be drawn from their behaviour? This episode follows the journey of a single opioid molecule through the fatty labyrinth of the epidural space, across barriers, and into its final destination: the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
