Students build upon their general knowledge of pharmacological principles and learn pharmacology in the context of clinical anesthesia. Both general and regional anesthesia is considered. Students explore the theory of current safe practice in pre-anesthetic care, preparation, induction, maintenance, and emergence from general anesthesia. The application of an anesthetic workstation and other technology used in the delivery of anesthesia is considered. Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for the course, but it is highly recommended that the student be a RRT, RN, MD or an equally qualified individual with at least one year of clinical experience prior to taking this course. Recommended: a strong foundation in pharmacology such as that covered in HLTH 2511 or equivalent, ANES 4001, ANES 4011.
