ELECT EANEA-EANEB - Clinical Correlations in Anesthesiology

OBJECTIVES

The medical student will be exposed to:

•  Techniques of preoperative evaluation to recognize those patients and situations that pose an increased anesthetic risk;

•  Optimal preoperative therapy for such patients to minimize this risk;

•  The characteristics of commonly used anesthetic agents and techniques and their risks and complications, and;

•  The principles and skills involved in airway management, intraoperative fluid therapy, and the proper use of intraoperative monitors.

GOALS

        To be able to intubate patients from pre-op to intubation and be able to evaluate patient for potential risk factors.

SPECIFIC DUTIES OF SENIOR STUDENTS

A student will be assigned to a full-time mentor. Under his/her guidance, the student will evaluate a patient, design an anesthetic, conduct the anesthetic, and evaluate the patient’s postoperative care. As more skill and understanding is gained, more responsibility for the care of the patient will be delegated.
