the immune system, the immunoglobulins, antigen-antibody interactions, infection, immunity,
lymphocytes, histocompatibility and genetic regulation.
BIO
590 Clinical Seminar (For
Option B-Exam/Clinical Seminar)
Seminar course open to graduate
nurse anesthesia students who have elected Option B for completion of degree
requirements. The student is expected
to present an anesthesia patient/case management topic of their
choice to the anesthesia department, using PowerPoint software and a computer projector.
AN
500 Professional Aspects of
Nurse Anesthesia
Designed to help the registered
nurse develop into an advanced practice nurse, understanding the increased responsibility, and
social, political, legal and economic realities of nurse anesthesia practice. Including topics such as history, ethics,
substance abuse, legal aspects, quality assurance, risk management
and insurance, and governmental regulation of practice.
AN
550 Physics and Equipment
Develops the relationships between
basic physics and technology in anesthesia and critical care medicine. Includes orientation to state-of-the-art
equipment utilized during the clinical practicum with
focus on maximizing patient safety, and basic anesthesia equipment maintenance.
AN
520, 530 Principles of
Anesthesia Practice
Divided into Basic Principles (30
hours), presented in spring semester while at CCSU and Advanced Principles (60
hours), presented during the clinical phase. Basic Principles is a beginning
overview of current anesthetic practice.
Topics include pre-anesthesia evaluation, fluid and blood therapy,
monitoring, the anesthesia machine, acid-base balance, pain management, post
anesthesia care unit, and regional anesthesia. Advanced Principles builds on the
foundation of Basic Principles and other courses. It is integrated within the
clinical practicum and presents a more thorough investigation of anesthesia specialties including
cardiac, thoracic, pediatric, obstetric, neurological, vascular, gynecologic, and other case
management.
AN
528 Applied Anesthesia
Pharmacology
A continuation of BIO-528
Pharmacology I, it is presented during the clinical phase as a more intensive examination of
the pharmacokinetics and pharmaco-dynamics of anesthetics and
adjuvant drugs with specific focus on clinical applications.
