This course will discuss pathophysiology relevant to anesthesia practice and will build upon principles learned in advanced physiology. The course will focus on the relationship or pathophysiology to anesthesia assessment, planning, decision-making and management. Evidence-based practice resulting from relevant research will be incorporated to develop a plan for anesthesia care based on pathophysiologic alterations across the lifespan and in special patient populations. Students will utilize this information to build a foundation for anesthetic clinical reasoning.
