NA 743 Principles of Anesthesia 4

Credit, two hours.
Following mastery of anatomic and physiologic features and completion of two semesters of clinical practicum, the advanced student will be introduced to the science and art of regional anesthesia and pain management. Related anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology will be reviewed as applied to the administration and management of regional anesthesia and pain management, using ultrasound and radiological techniques. Various regional anesthetics are discussed and simulated as a component of a safe and effective anesthetic. This course requires two on-campus intensive experiences.
1. Demonstrate requisite knowledge of anatomical, physiological, pharmacological, and
technical principles pertinent to the administration of a regional anesthetic.
2. Design an anesthetic incorporating appropriate regional and pain management
techniques to maximize patient safety and satisfaction.
3. Discuss the principles of ultrasound and radiology as a component of advanced
regional anesthesia techniques. Prerequisite(s):
