Understanding Physiological Changes in Fetal Circulation at Birth

Happy New Year listeners! Today's "MiniPod" is sadly my last for a few months as I take a break to sit my part 2 exam. I have put a lot in this pod and it's not really that "mini." I first start by discussing the foetal circulation and the shunts that help this circulation with the transition from foetal to neonatal circulation (01:30). Then I look at the differences in the anatomy of neonatal airway and the clinical implications of this (09:48). Finally, we look that physiological difference between a neonate and adult (15:44). As always we look at the past SAQS (23:48) and opening viva stem (38:38). Hope you guys enjoy the pod and thank you for your support, see you in a few months! If you have any questions please email me! As always thank you for listening!
