Diamorphine (Golden Brown): Opioid Pharmacology for Anaesthetic Practice

Diamorphine (Golden Brown): Opioid Pharmacology for Anaesthetic Practice

In this episode of Gas, Gas, Gas, we drill a figurative oil well into the pharmacology of diamorphine — also known by its more notorious street name, Heroin/Smack/Golden Brown. Diamorphine is a synthetic diacetylated derivative of morphine, and this episode details its mechanism of action, clinical applications, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and side effect profile. The episode is structured to support FRCA Primary revision with an irrelevant clinical anecdote (but sound advice I would argue) and exam-focus.
