Episode 34: Maintenance of Anesthesia

FREE! CRNA School Interview Prep Guide: https://www.cspaedu.com/uc9a5ih4

What am I supposed to do with myself during the maintenance phase of an anesthesia case? Unfortunately, it’s not break time! While it can be a bit of a juggling game, we’ve got the details for you!

Today, we’re discussing how to prepare for, maintain, and efficiently move through the maintenance phase of anesthesia. In this episode, we cover:

• Factors to consider when positioning the patient before they are asleep
• Key aspects to monitor for optimal patient comfort and safety during this phase
• How to build trust with your surgical team and communicate effectively
• Managing vitals while monitoring patient comfort
• The best time to begin and update your charting (+ some tips for paper charting)
• When (and how) to prepare for your next cases during any downtime in the maintenance phase
• Crafting your game plan for wakeup (+ troubleshooting possible problems ahead of time)

Happy maintaining, and cheers, future CRNA!
