Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Focuses on the intricacies of pharmacology within nurse anesthesia, featuring episodes that explore medication discussions, personal anecdotes from experienced CRNAs, and family connections in the profession, with a highlight on episodes discussing favorite anesthetic agents like Precedex and their practical implications.
My Favorite Learners is a pharmacology podcast for SRNAs, CRNAs, and anesthesia learners. Hosted by Dr. Chloe G, CRNA + DNP + pharmacology professor, this show breaks down anesthesia drugs, mechanisms of action, MAC values, and NBCRNA exam prep. Episodes cover propofol, ketamine, Precedex, NMBAs, inhaled agents, and more – through solo teaching and expert CRNA interviews. Whether you’re studying for boards or brushing up on clinical pharmacology, this podcast makes complex topics simple and fun.
Today we’re diving into the future of anesthesia pharmacology with three major topics changing perioperative practice: Remimazolam, Sugammadex, and Novel Opioids. These medications were designed to improve what we care about most—faster recovery, safer profiles, more predictable pharmacokinetics, and better patient outcomes.
In this episode, we break down:
✔️ Remimazolam – the ultra-short acting benzodiazepine with esterase metabolism, rapid recovery, and potential hemodynamic advantages over propofol
✔️ Sugammadex – the game-changing reversal agent for rocuronium and vecuronium, including dosing, mechanisms, risks, and board pearls
✔️ Novel Opioids – including biased agonists like oliceridine, and the ongoing search for analgesia with fewer side effects
We also cover:
🎯 High-yield NBCRNA/NCE pharmacology points
🎯 Clinical pros and cons of each drug
🎯 Real-world barriers like cost, adoption, and safety concerns
🎯 How to think like an anesthesia provider—not just memorize drugs
Whether you’re an SRNA, CRNA, resident, or anesthesia nerd who loves pharmacology, this episode will help you connect the science to clinical practice.
