Even when a patient is unconscious under general anesthesia, their body can still respond to pain. In this video, I got my hands on a new device designed to detect how much pain a patient is experiencing under general anesthesia.

    Congratulations on graduating from residency!!! Your videos are some of the best anesthesiologist videos on YouTube and really informative.
  • @JPSRNA2025
    Im a second year nurse anesthesia student and I have loved being able to listen to how you explain videos in a concise and thorough manner. Please keep up with the videos and congratulations on graduating residency!

    As someone who’s undergone nearly a dozen surgeries (yeah, I’m a mess) this was incredibly fascinating! My first one was in 1981 (cavernous hemangioma removal), when I was 7 ish - I got violently ill afterwards!! It was incredibly upsetting and scared me for a looong time. Just hearing about the titration levels of opioids made a world of sense to me! Loving your channel, and congratulations on completing your residency!!

    I’m an Anesthesia Tech and these videos help me so much. Being able to understand things and anticipate physician’s needs is so valuable. Congrats on residency graduation doc!

    Congrats Max on graduation! We used the NOL index at our center for a research study as well!

    Finally, a way to tell how much pain our anesthesiologists are in.
  • I was a surgical tech 35 years ago and our surgeons told us that if a body responded to pain, the patient wasn't "deep" enough. Things have advanced quite a lot since then.

    I am a circulator and often have to act as the DJ. Our operating rooms have really nice speaker systems. We are thinking about adding subwoofers to the OR tables. You nailed the surgeon/music types!

    Congratulations on graduating residency! I’m not a doctor or med student, but I enjoy learning about this stuff anyway. Keep up the great work!

    A corporation paying for a study of its product's effectiveness does invalidate the results actually. In engineering that's a big no-no and safety studies must always be impartial and independent. This device is pretty simple and it probably does help, but proper tests must be done first before it's widely adopted.

    Congratulations on becoming an anesthesiologist! Love your videos. The more surgery I have, the more interested I become in anesthesia. Very fascinating field.😊
  • @jewel1953
    I love your patience in explaining info. on your videos. If I needed surgery again I wish I could have you for my anesthesiologist.
