NAP 205 - Advanced Pharmacology, Physiology, and Pharmacotherapeutics of Anesthetics
Semester Hours: 4
This course builds on the students’ knowledge of clinical pharmacology to provide a sound basis for engaging in evidence-based anesthesia care across the life span. A comprehensive, doctoral study of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anesthetic agents routinely administered with emphasis on chemical structure, dynamics of the volatile and non-volatile inhalation agents, intravenous anesthetic and accessory/adjuvant drugs (induction agents, muscle relaxants, opioids, benzodiazepines, butyrophenones, anticholinergics, and anticholinesterases), and local anesthetics. The course will also provide a systems approach to pathophysiology and the pharmacotherapeutic agents used to treat specific disease states, emphasizing their impact in anesthesia practice.
