🦠 Endocrine & Metabolic Physiology addresses the hormonal and biochemical foundations of anesthetic care. From adrenal stress response to glucose regulation, this module delivers essential insights for the EDAIC Part I exam and everyday clinical decisions.
📘 What You’ll Learn
Understanding hormonal regulation and metabolic balance is essential in perioperative care, particularly in patients with endocrine disorders, diabetes, or altered metabolic states. This module provides a focused review of:
🧠 Hypothalamic–Pituitary Axis – Feedback control, hormone cascades, perioperative implications
🩸 Adrenal Function – Cortisol, aldosterone, stress response, and steroid coverage
🍽️ Glucose Homeostasis – Insulin, glucagon, perioperative diabetes management
🌡️ Thyroid & Parathyroid Physiology – Effects on cardiac output, metabolism, and calcium regulation
🔁 Acid–Base & Electrolyte Balance – Integrated with renal and respiratory compensation
📝 What’s Included
✅ EDAIC-style Multiple-True-False questions
🧠 Emphasis on pathophysiological understanding and clinical relevance
📚 Based on the core content of:
• Miller’s Anesthesia
• Barash Clinical Anesthesia
• Lange Clinical Anesthesiology
👨⚕️ Who Should Join?
🩺 Anesthesiology Trainees
🧑⚕️ Practicing Anesthesiologists & Intensivists
🧬 Clinicians managing endocrine/metabolic comorbidities
