‘Hey boss, we have a real challenging case tomorrow. She is a 94-year-old lady with carcinoma of the stomach needing a laparoscopic resection for recurrent bleeding. She could move around the house ok six months ago but has lost a lot of weight over the past few months. On a load of medications for hypertension, diabetes and has atrial fibrillation. Family said she took ages waking up from her last GA. The family reckon the last anaesthetist overdosed her but the doctor said he gave her the usual dose at one MAC. I guess you want to use TIVA… what should I read up on tonight?’
