Program Overview
General anesthesia is meant for the patient who requires a controlled, reversible state of unconsciousness for surgical purposes. Significant advances in monitoring, safety systems, and the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of anesthetic agents have contributed to improvements in the safety and effectiveness of general anesthesia. Even with these advances, safe and effective anesthetic practice would not be possible without highly educated and well-trained anesthesiology professionals.
Anesthesiology professionals are responsible for assessing factors that may influence a patient's outcome during surgery. This includes selecting the ideal anesthetic regimen based on current recommendations, patient needs, and their own clinical experience. Appropriate preoperative evaluation and planning are of critical importance to ensure a clinician’s ability to respond intraoperatively to patient response, appropriately adjust dosing to maintain intraoperative analgesia, optimize recovery time, and ensure that postoperative adverse events are minimized.
The pharmacodynamic profile of short-acting opioids used in general anesthesia regimens make them versatile, manageable, and, if used appropriately, safe. Because anesthesiology professionals play a critical role in ensuring successful patient outcomes, it is important that they are aware of the properties of available agents commonly used in general anesthesia. With this knowledge, it may be possible to prepare for intraoperative patient responses that require real-time adjustments and to optimize recovery time.
This program will review important considerations for general anesthesia and opportunities for improving perioperative patient management in a case-based format, specifically in the context of opioid based-anesthesia. In order to improve clinical decision making, the effects of particular compounds used as adjuncts to general anesthesia will be reviewed. The overall goal of this program is to overcome gaps in clinical practice in order to improve perioperative patient care.
Target Audience
This activity has been designed for anesthesiologists, certified nurse anesthetists, surgeons, nurses and other healthcare providers involved in the care of patients receiving general anesthesia.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Discuss opportunities to provide improved perioperative pain control in anesthesia practice
- Describe the advantages and disadvantages of short-acting opioids as part of a general anesthesia regimen
- Identify opportunities to improve hemodynamic control and postoperative recovery time with opioid-based anesthesia
