NSG 903 - Clinical Anesthesia Practicum/Seminar III

Practicum in simulation laboratory, hospital, or outpatient surgical sites with graduated, guided instruction in the clinical management of patients receiving various types of anesthesia. Each practicum builds on previously developed skills progressing from basic operating room orientation to the administration of anesthesia for patients exhibiting complicated pathophysiology. Focus is on preparation, planning, and implementation of a safe anesthetic, and application of prior classroom learning. Specialty areas such as pediatrics, obstetrics, cardiac, thoracic, trauma, urologic, vascular, orthopedic, neurologic, geriatrics and regional anesthesia are incorporated. Human Patient Simulation modules will be used to reinforce clinical concepts. Health care team communication, collaboration, and education are stressed. A clinical coordinator at each clinical site will coordinate and monitor the student’s progress. It is expected that students will continue clinical rotations through university designated break periods.

Selected topics, journal articles and case reports are presented, critically analyzed and discussed by presenters and participants once a week at a clinical and literature review conference. Prerequisite: Each practicum must be taken in sequential order; permission of instructor.
