- Course Description: This course examines the laws and principles of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physics as they apply to pharmacology and the clinical practice of nurse anesthesia. Restricted to majors.
- 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.) A CRNA with a master's degree and knowledgeable in the chemistry, physics, and biochmistry priciples that are related to anesthesia.
- Objectives: During this course the student will have the opportunity to:
1. Describe the general principles of physics of diffusion, osmosis and fluid dynamics as they relate to the practice of anesthesia safety.
2. Analyze the general principles of electricity, electrical safety and hazards, magnetism and their relation to safe anesthesia administration.
3. Demonstrate the use of anesthetic monitoring systems.
4. Interpret the general principles of organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and biochemistry as they relate to anesthesia practice.
5. Explain the working components and safety principles of an anesthesia gas machine.
6. Calculate vaporization percentages and the composition of anesthetic gas flows.
7. Distinguish among breathing systems used in the administration of anesthesia.
