4: What Every Patient Should Know About Anesthesia

Dr. Steven Bradley, a critical care anesthesiologist and host of the Black Doctors Podcast, introduces the latest season of the podcast where he changes the format to cater to different audiences each week. The podcast aims to inspire and empower minority healthcare professionals and students by sharing stories from various medical specialties. Season 11 will feature advice for pre-medical students, tips for current physicians, discussions on medical ethics, and information about healthcare issues for the general public, starting with a focus on anesthesiology and critical care medicine performed by Dr. Bradley himself.

Dr. Bradley explains his motivation to educate and empower the public about anesthesiology, emphasizing the importance of understanding the role anesthesiologists play before, during, and after surgery. The first installment covers the basics of anesthesia and the responsibilities of anesthesiologists, including patient safety, pain management, and monitoring vital signs. He discusses the various types of anesthesia, the teamwork involved in the administration of anesthesia, and the specialized training and certifications required for anesthesiologists.

In addition to providing a look into the anesthesiology field, Dr. Bradley also highlights his latest project, Ambient RX, which involves creating ambient music for relaxation, stress relief, and mindfulness. He invites listeners to subscribe and engage with the podcast and his other ventures, all aimed at improving healthcare quality and representation in medicine. He encourages listeners to stay tuned for further deep dives into anesthesiology in upcoming episodes of the podcast.
