In this episode, Ashley and I talk through how to set up an operating room anesthesia workstation, perform a preoperative patient assessment and progress through an IV induction and intubation.
You’ll hear Ashley walk you through everything from how to do a quick machine set up, where to put your tape, how to introduce yourself to patients & work through a preop assessment and how to proceed from getting in the door of the OR through getting the tube where you want it to go after induction. This is a great podcast to help SRNAs and other anesthesia learners to get their clinical flow down!
