Nurse Anesthesiology Principles II

3 Credits.

The second of four anesthesia principles courses, this course builds on foundational knowledge to provide safe, evidence-based anesthesia to patients undergoing common procedures. Anesthesia considerations of special populations of patients (geriatric and obese), POCUS, and regional anesthesia will be discussed to include anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, anesthetic techniques, and management of complications. Relevant literature related to evidence-based best practices will be reviewed. Simulation will be incorporated in the course.
