This course provides the student with a comprehensive overview of the design and utilization of the anesthesia delivery system, biomedical instrumentation, and monitoring modalities commonly used in nurse anesthesia practice. Monitors and equipment utilized are studied with respect to principles of operation, calibration, and interpretation of data. Emphasis will be placed on application of the scientific principles and clinical application of gas laws, vaporization, fluid dynamics, explosion hazards, electrical safety, acid-base balance, and blood gas analysis and the provision of safe anesthesia care. In-depth study on airway anatomy and management is also emphasized. Course material encompasses recognition of the difficult airway, the ASA Difficult Airway Algorithm, physiologic response to intubation, fiber-optic techniques, retrograde techniques, and the surgical airway.
