Climate crisis is a growing global health problem, one which the field of anesthesia contributes to with its use of volatile anesthetic gases. This podcast is part of the doctoral project of Jacob Bonnema and it aims to increase knowledge and awareness of the environmental effects of volatile gases, particularly desflurane, to empower providers to plan environmentally-conscious anesthetics.
As of October 2022, Jacob Bonnema, BSN, RN, CCRN is a senior nurse anesthesia resident at NorthShore University HealthSystem School of Nurse Anesthesia in Chicago, IL. He has a passion for environmentalism and when it came to selecting a topic for his DNP project, wanted to choose a subject that would incorporate that interest.
Jacob is conducting a study associated with this podcast and we’re asking for your participation. Please click the link below to take the pre-survey, then listen to show and follow the same link below to take the post survey.
Jacob has made this incredibly easy by imbedding the audio for the podcast directly between the 2 surveys at the link below. Just click the link and you’ll see the pre-survey, then the audio content and then the post-survey all at Jacob’s site… super easy!
You can also listen to the audio at Anesthesia Guidebook or wherever you listen to podcasts!
Here’s 2 reasons you should do these super quick surveys: the most important is that it will help you learn the content better and make this show stick in your incredibly powerful brain. By testing your knowledge up front, then listening to the content, the retesting to see what you picked up in the show, you will increase your ability to recall this information so you sound really smart when talking about it with your colleagues & students at work.
And the second reason is that by completing this survey you can feel good about yourself because you’re contributing to science. The more people who complete the pre & post surveys, the better data Jacob will have. And that makes you and Jacob happy. And me. We’ll both be stoked if you pause the podcast now and hit the pre & post surveys.
All right, with that, let’s get to the show…
