The Elephant in the Room with Mike Wenninger

Hello, anesthesia enthusiasts, and welcome to another episode of Style Points.

I'm your host, John Crow.

Today on the podcast, I'm sitting down with Dr. Mike Winninger, the director of animal health at the Cincinnati Zoo, to talk about what anesthesia looks like when your patients include fish, penguins, venomous snakes, and elephants.

Longtime listeners may remember episode five when my colleague Brian Vaughn told us about doing anesthesia for the gorillas at the zoo.

Before we get there, I'll hand it over to my co-host, Nate Moore, to introduce this month's RSI, which of course stands for Resident Selected Information.

Thanks, John.

I'm welcoming Dr. David Karnbaugh back to the program.

You last heard from him as an intern, and we're lucky to have him back as a brand new CA1.

He's gone above and beyond digging into an emerging concern regarding anesthetics in patients with Venezuelan ancestry, so this will be important to listen to before you do your next pre-op.

Welcome, David.
