Hello and welcome back to ACRAC. I'm Jed Wolpa and I am excited for this show today.

In many ways this is a unique ACRAC podcast and you'll know why in a second I have with

me a really fantastic guest, Dr. Phil Carulo, who is one of our pediatric anesthesiologists

here. And interestingly enough, though, I would love to have him back another day to talk

about a topic in pediatric anesthesia that is not really what we're going to talk about

today because Phil has taken a real interest in, believe it or not, tape. That's right,

tape. And we are going to talk today about tape. Now before you turn off your radio,

and I know you're not listening on a radio, we are going to convince you that this is

actually a fascinating topic and that Phil has taken interest in for a good reason.

So Phil, welcome to the show. Thank you, Jed. I really appreciate it. I started listening

to ACRAC when I was a resident and continued as a fellow and still listening now. So it's

really fun to be here. I really feel honored to be part of the ACRAC podcast group. And

to talk about tape, which is really interesting and fun topic. So I'll start off by just a

full disclosure. I get this question a lot. I have no actual personal or professional

interests in tape technology or development or research. But I really like to talk about

tape for two main reasons. One, it's just a really fun topic. It's something that a lot

of people in healthcare interact with on a regular basis. We use tape every single day

and multiple types of tape on a daily basis. And I found that it doesn't matter if you're

a CA one or a seasoned attending. We know how to use it, but we really don't know much

else about it. And so really understanding the risks and benefits of tape and the evidence

behind the best way to use it clinically is often not there. And this in many ways is

probably the only education you'll ever get on this topic. So it's fun from that standpoint.
