ANES 634 Advanced Lifespan Physiology and Pathophysiology for Anesthesia I
The course focus is an in-depth exploration of specific human normal and abnormal physiology for application in nurse anesthesia practice across the lifespan. Students examine advanced physiologic concepts and the complex relationships with clinical correlation across the lifespan.
Competence Statement: Knows the fundamental physiology and pathophysiology of cell physiology, the nervous system, pulmonary, and the cardiovascular system well enough to apply these principles to nurse anesthesia practice
Prerequisite: Admission into the Nurse Anesthesia DNP program.
