Description
This course is designed to develop theoretical and clinical competencies in the anesthetic care of a continuum of patients undergoing complex surgical procedures and builds on the basic concepts and theory gained from prerequisite coursework. This course reviews various populations of patients with high risk of presenting airway management challenges. The student, after mastering basic airway management is now presented with populations requiring advanced knowledge, psychomotor skills, and clinical judgment. Emphasis is given to airway management and managing potential/actual common problems and mechanical ventilator management. Anesthetic management of traumatic injury and burns is presented as it relates to anesthetic management and patient risk. Other systems presented in this course include immune, ophthalmic, otopharyngologic [EENT] and musculoskeletal with a focus on system dysfunction as related to all phases of anesthesia planning, management and intervention.
