ANZCA Part 1 SAQs

Perioperative hypothermia

Warfarin reversal 

Hit the headings and use loads of examples with some detail about the examples (as per examiners report) 


Pharmacokinetics of chronic kidney disease

Should probably have a line or two about HPV for the awake patient 


Respiratory responses to hypoxaemia 

Errors is a separate question don’t @me 


How a pulse oximeter works 

Cool graph on ketamine nightmares that is worth drawing 


NMB at larynx, diaphragm, adductor pollicis 

Afterload

Draw compartment model. PK/PD structure. PK needs to include accumulation and elimination. 


Time to awakening after propofol TCI

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


IPPV and CO

CVS effects in pregnancy

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.
