NSG 7523 Principles & Practice III: Nurse Anesthesia

The third of a four-course series, this course continues a more in-depth overview of foundational principles and practices related to the safe delivery of peri-anesthetic care.  Emphasis shifts to the study of current evidence-based practices in the provision of peri-anesthetic care for parturients, children, infants, and neonates requiring anesthesia in the provision of surgical procedures, pain management, and diagnostic/therapeutic procedures.  Cultural competence and interdisciplinary collaboration are accentuated. The didactic material is supplemented by one week-long intensive lab experience, attended in person by all students, for the incorporation of the didactic principles of basic anesthesia foundations into simulation training.  Relevant to the focus on obstetric and pediatric populations, lab intensive topics cover special considerations and issues in airway management, common obstetrical emergencies, and selected regional/neuraxial techniques, including the use of POCUS in relevant anesthetic techniques.
