BLOW, BOOZE & BENNIES: ACUTE INTOXICATION & ANESTHESIA | EP61

In this episode of the Atomic Anesthesia Podcast, we tackle the complex reality of caring for patients under the influence of drugs or alcohol, a frequent challenge for nurse anesthesia residents and CRNAs. Covering the physiological effects and anesthetic implications of acute and chronic intoxication with alcohol, benzodiazepines, hallucinogens (such as LSD, PCP, and MDMA), cocaine, and cannabinoids, this episode offers fast, practical guidance for optimizing perioperative care and minimizing patient risk. Listeners will learn how substance use alters anesthetic requirements, impacts drug metabolism, and poses unique airway and hemodynamic risks, while also receiving actionable tips for drug class-specific management like when to use or avoid certain agents, the importance of invasive monitoring, and strategies for handling withdrawal or overdose. Tune in for a high-yield rundown that will help you make safer decisions when handling intoxicated patients in the OR.
