Anesthesia Clinical Practicum 4

3 credits · School of Nursing

This fourth clinical course is designed to prepare nurse anesthesia students to integrate advanced clinical concepts from the classroom into their clinical practice. The course primarily focuses on managing special populations of care, including, but not limited to, cardiovascular, thoracic, and vascular anesthesia. It also covers advanced airway techniques and detailed laboratory analysis. Students will be assigned to affiliated clinical sites and anesthesia specialty areas to manage increasingly complex and specialized cases. Clinical experiences will be guided by Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and/or anesthesiologists. Supplemental clinical case conferences, focused on these specialty populations, will align with the concurrent didactic courses. Prerequisite: 8655. [3]
