Miller's Anesthesia proven WRONG by Dr Stan! What REALLY happens to volatile washout with changes in cardiac output

Here is our deep dive into what exactly occurs to volatile washout in an anaesthetised person if cardiac output changes. Out of the textbooks we reviewed, only MILLER'S ANESTHESIA (thought by many to be the bible of anaesthesia) comments on exactly what occurs!

In this episode we reveal what Dr Stan discovered by running his very own transparent simulations using Gasman.
