You asked, we listened. In this episode we discuss our journey from SRNA life to CNRA life. Was it what we expected? What do we wish we would've known? Is it stressful? All things we will discuss and talk about as we give you the inside scoop to our journey from SRNAs to CRNAs .

New name, same mission. We are thankful for all of your support and we are excited to continue to offer anesthesia education that fits within your busy schedule. Check out this episode for the cliff notes of where we are and where we are headed in the future. First up, STUDENT ONLY conference on July 30th. This all day virtual conference is geared specifically for students with speakers and topics that will be valuable to you as you progress through your training. 

In today's episodes we discuss several airway complications including laryngospasms, airway fires, pulmonary aspiration, and airway nerve injury. It is important to review these complications so that we can enact a plan to prevent them from occurring. We also briefly discuss management following each of these events building off of our difficult airway discussion. 

Building off of our last episode, we now discuss the management of a difficult airway. We talk through cannot intubate, cannot ventilate situations, how to prepare for an awake intubation, and evaluate closed claims analysis to identify where we can improve our management of difficult airways. 

Here is our all-in-one episode for airway assessments and airway equipment! While we often combine many of these assessments, it is important that we identify each one individually and understand their unique importance. Following our discussion of the various assessments, we dive into the many different types of airway equipment and their respective uses. 

Today we are doing PART TWO of local anesthetics. The first episode is all the way back at episode 6 but we wanted to round out the content of that first episode. In this segment we discuss the specifics of local anesthetics, their PKA, onset of action, duration of action, and why you might choose one over another based on their specific profiles.
