In this episode, Ashley and I talk through how to set up an operating room anesthesia workstation, perform preoperative patient assessment and progress through an IV induction and intubation. This is a great podcast to help SRNAs and other anesthesia learners to get their clinical flow down!

At the time of this recording, Ashley Scheil was a second-year SRNA at Marian University in Indianapolis, IN. She earned her BSN from Purdue University in 2012. Ashley worked as a critical care Registered Nurse in the surgical ICU at the Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis for 6 years before going back to anesthesia school. She is expected to graduate in May of 2020 with her DNP degree.
