NAP 272 - Principles of Advanced Anesthesia Procedures & Airway Management
Semester Hours: 2
This course is designed to prepare the student for clinical practice in advanced anesthesia procedures and advanced airway management. The course will introduce knowledge and skills in basic and advanced airway management and introduce students to advanced anesthesia procedures in a simulated practice-based learning environment. Through clinical laboratory experiences, students will experientially explore methods of anesthesia, airway assessment, and inhalation induction utilizing supraglottic airway devices, masks, tracheal intubation, and endoscopic techniques. Simulated experiences utilizing complex airway algorithms will further develop the students’ psychomotor skills and critical thinking inherent to advanced and difficult airway scenarios (e.g., awake intubation, failed airway, and open cricothyrotomy). Also, students will be introduced to foundational ultrasound-guided techniques for intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring, pulmonary artery catheter monitoring, central venous catheter placement, and peripheral inserted central catheters (PICC). Innovative advanced non-invasive technologies will also be explored.
