Course Taught
Principles of Anesthesia I (4 units)
Lecture and seminar discussions introducing the basic principles of anesthesia practice. Includes historical perspectives of the profession, standards of practice, anesthesia assessment and monitoring principles, fundamental technical skills (airway management, use of essential anesthesia equipment), case planning protocols, and strategies for interventions and problem-solving throughout the perioperative period. Laboratory sessions using an anesthesia patient simulator are designed to operationalized theoretical concepts. (3 units lecture, 1 unit lab)
Principles of Anesthesia II (6 units)
Lecture and seminar discussion in the study of the anesthetic implications of common and complex patient comorbidities (anemia, endocrine disorders, diabetes mellitus, morbid obesity, immunologic and mental disease) through the lifespan (pediatric through geriatric) and management of selected surgical procedures. Focus is on the procedural requirements of the surgeries, equipment used for anesthesia and surgery, and the appropriate anesthetic techniques and strategies, taking into account the patient’s comorbidities including age related needs (and all other relevant facets of the perioperative setting). Advanced technical skills (regional anesthesia, difficult airway management, invasive monitoring) are covered in simulated sessions (laboratory) which also utilizes the anesthesia patient simulator to further operationalized theoretical and critical thinking concepts. (4 units lecture, 2 units lab)
