- Course Description: This course emphasizes the considerations of nurse anesthesia practice, principles, and techniques for the obstetrical, pediatric and geriatric patient.
- 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, once
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) Instructor must be a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist with a master’s degree and must be knowledgeable in the field.
- Objectives: During this course the student will have the opportunity to:
1. Evaluate the obstetrical patient for anesthesia to include pre-operative assessment considering normal obstetrical physiology and the more common pathophysiologies, pain management, cesarean section care, proper positioning, and epidural anesthesia.
2. Examine the principles of neonatal and pediatric anesthesia during pre-operative assessment, operating room and equipment set-up, appraisal of normal physiology and pathophysiology, and post anesthesia pain management.
3. Organize the care of geriatric surgical patients for anesthesia to include: physical assessment, selection and administration of the anesthesia techniques, management of the anesthetic, and post-operative care.
- Learning Outcomes: During this course the student will have the opportunity to:
1. Evaluate the obstetrical patient for anesthesia to include pre-operative assessment considering normal obstetrical physiology and the more common pathophysiologies, pain management, cesarean section care, proper positioning, and epidural anesthesia.
2. Examine the principles of neonatal and pediatric anesthesia during pre-operative assessment, operating room and equipment set-up, appraisal of normal physiology and pathophysiology, and post anesthesia pain management.
