*Lou's views are her own and do not represent or reflect the views of the BVNA*
This week we're thrilled to present our episode with the fantastic Lou Northway whom many of you know as Lou The Vet Nurse!
We begin this week's episode by delving into Lou's childhood experiences of visiting the vets, how that inspired her to become a veterinary nurse and how her weekend job developed into her lifelong career.
We discuss how the roles of a veterinary surgeon and a veterinary nurse complement each other, depend on one another and by working together, improve animal welfare for our patients. Lou shares her views on analgesia, how it could be improved by giving vet nurses more responsibility in practice and her passion for clinical auditing.
We discuss a period of huge change for Lou that took place over 2020/2021 with her pregnancy and the subsequent birth of her baby during COVID. Lou shares her experiences of being a new mother and offers advice for any veterinary nurses that are considering having a baby.
Lastly, she does an awesome 60-second CPD about quality improvement in human factors and we discuss the importance of fostering a no-blame culture in the workplace.

In this episode, we turn our focus to the present to see how recent research could be used to shape the future of anesthesiology.
In previous episodes, we reviewed how the pioneers of anesthesia were able to successfully use ether and chloroform without the full knowledge of those drugs that we have today. In that spirit, we explore whether there is untapped potential in our current scientific expertise that could help improve the delivery of modern-day anesthesia.
This season of the podcast began with the retelling of the origin story of anesthesia use. We revisited the classic tale of Ether Day with the benefit of hindsight and almost two centuries of clinical advances. But the stories about William T.G. Morton, Simpson Young and John Snow are also just chapters in a much larger story of medical progress. It is our story, too. While this season of The Etherist is ending, the story of anesthesia continues, as does the push for clinical progress. In this episode, we try to answer the question: What will be the next chapter in the story of anesthesiology?
This is the fourth and final episode of season 3 of “Anesthesiology News presents The Etherist.”

Brown EN, Lydic R, Schiff ND. General anesthesia, sleep, and coma. _N Engl J Med_. 2010;363:2638-2650.In the previous episodes, we relived the incredible achievements of the discoverers of anesthesia in Davy, Morton, Simpson and Long. But another individual may be just as important to the progress of the specialty as those who discovered it.
John Snow was a doctor and scientist in London when he first witnessed a demonstration of ether anesthesia. Even though he was not credited with the discovery of ether or chloroform, he became a leader in the advancement of modern medicine in England.
In fact, it was Snow’s forward-thinking mentality that laid the foundation for the spirit of the specialty of anesthesiology: the idea that there is always a better answer to the problem than the one we have now. To do that, Snow developed the first ever anesthesia practice standards to guide his colleagues in the use of anesthesia.
In this episode, we turn our attention to our future, and explore how understanding Snow’s original ether anesthesia practice standards was just the first chapter in a 175-year story of anesthesia innovation. We will also discuss the current outlook of our modern research into the development of more targeted anesthesia drugs and more.

An unexplained death: Hannah Greener and chloroform. Anesthesiology. 2002;96:1250–1253.The discovery of chloroform was closely intertwined with ether anesthesia because of the relative closeness of their discoveries, but it did not take long for the early pioneers of anesthesia use to understand the enormous difference between the two anesthetic agents.
From October 1846 to November 1847, anesthesia providers used ether to ease pain in surgery and it might have seemed as if a golden age in medicine was just beginning, but tragedy would eventually strike the growing specialty of anesthesiology. Hannah Greener’s experience with the use of chloroform anesthesia as a patient would mark a major crisis point for the early advocates of anesthesia.
This season of the series is about revisiting the history of anesthesiology while also reimagining those events based on what we know today. But that story can’t be told without also diving into the dangers of the use of anesthesia. It is perhaps the most important piece of knowledge that we possess now, that those early anesthesiologists were not sufficiently aware of at the time.

On Friday, Oct. 16, 1846, William Thomas Green Morton changed the world of medicine with his demonstration of vaporized ether anesthesia at Massachusetts General Hospital, in Boston.
The discovery and public demonstration of ether anesthesia was not a sudden achievement, though. In fact, it was the results of incremental scientific gains by dozens of scientists from Raymond Lully, the Spanish alchemist who first distilled sulfuric ether in 1275, to Joseph Priestly, the English researcher who developed nitrous oxide in 1774, and finally to Morton.
But there is more to the story than those early pioneers could have known. This season we will be retelling and reimagining the story about the dawn of anesthesia use with a slight twist. We will also dive into the latest research into the mechanisms of anesthesia’s effects on the brain—knowledge the early innovators in anesthesia could not have realized in their time.
This is episode 1 of season 3 of “Anesthesiology News presents The Etherist.” Episode 2 will be available on Oct. 26, 2021.

Before the discovery of ether anesthesia, surgery was an excruciating experience for patients, their loved ones and even the surgeons who performed the operations.
In the 1840s, an important scientific breakthrough changed the course of medical history—the discovery of anesthesia. However, over several decades leading up to that historic discovery, the potential for less painful surgery existed without anyone managing to connect the dots between a series of scientific developments with nitrous oxide and the need for anesthesia in surgery. Those decades presented a stark missed opportunity for all surgery patients of the time, and a true conundrum affectionately known as “laughing gas.”
In the prologue for season 3 of “Anesthesiology News presents The Etherist,” we delve into the decades-long conundrum of the coexistence of anesthesia—in the form of nitrous oxide and ether—and the continuation of painful surgery during the early 19th century.
Episode 1 of The Etherist will be available on Oct. 16, 2021—175 years after the original demonstration of ether anesthesia, now known as Ether Day.
