- Corequisites:
- Course Description: This course focuses on the fundamentals of nurse anesthesia practice and techniques and on the development of didactic knowledge for regional anesthesia and advanced nurse anesthesia practice.
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: This course is an essential component of the Nurse Anesthetist program and is currently being offered under selected topics.
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? Required sequence in the major.
- Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? Yes, twice.
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) CRNA with master's degree and knowledgeable in anesthesia modalities, regional, invasive procedures, and administration of anesthesia.
- Objectives: During this course the student will have the opportunity to:
1. Assemble anesthesia equipment for the delivery of an anesthetic to include: gas machine check, basic anesthesia cart assembly, and collection of adjunct anesthesia equipment.
2. Utilize all routine monitors employed in anesthesia practice.
3. Evaluate general surgical clients pre-operatively and compose an applicable anesthesia care plan to include appropriate anesthetics and adjunct pharmacological agents.
4. Demonstrate beginning skills of airway management to include airway assessment, appraisal of a potential difficult airway, and oral, nasal, and fiberoptic intubation.
5. Relate the rationale for intubation and the different techniques used to intubate.
6. Demonstrate beginning skills for the insertion of arterial lines and central lines and analyze the techniques of regional, arterial and central line monitoring.
7. Demonstrate beginning skills in administering regional anesthesia. Compare the different modalities of regional anesthesia. Differentiate among different types of regional techniques appropriate for patient’s age, diagnosis, surgical procedure and physical assessment.
8. Comprehend the physiological implications of each type of regional anesthesia and different local anesthetics agents and evaluate the use of each of the different local anesthetic agents.
9. Utilize the principles and legal aspects involved in the correct completion of the record.
10. Examine techniques employed by the nurse anesthetist to ensure that the client is positioned in the correct physiology position during surgery an anesthesia.
11. Manage intravenous access for the general surgical client.
12. Obtain BLS, ACLS and PALS certification.
13. Review patient rights and responsibilities
