Dear Colleagues,
Recently i had the good opportunity to go for a short visit to Tata memorial Hospital in Mumbai where the annual ARC(Anaesthesia review course) was being conducted.A common feature witnessed by me was that EMO,Flagg's can,Vapourisers,Boyle's machine were being taught to the student delegates who were seeing these old instruments for the first time!!! A young delegate was clicking photos of the EMO on his mobile camera!!!
This made me happy that at least we old timers are used to all these so called antiques in anaesthesia.
Another thought that came to my mind was that there should be a refresher course for the private practising anaesthesiologists who need to be updated with the newer anaesthesia machines,drugs etc to update our knowledge.This is indeed the need of the hour.
This should be made mandatory to all the practising anaesthesiologists.
I would like my fellow colleagues who are seniors in this field, to express their valuable suggestions and opinions about this topic without any bias.
