Purpose: Audio-Digest Foundation CME/CE activities are designed to provide its learners – physicians and other healthcare professionals – with continuing education that will help identify clinical problems in their practice settings, provide content to help to solve those problems, and increase their application of knowledge to practice.
Audio-Digest Anesthesiology is specifically designed to provide the participant with state-of-the-art information including, but not limited to:
Hazards of working in the OR
Hemostasis and hemotherapy
Opioids vs. non-opioid anesthesia
Inhalation anesthesia
Muscle relaxants
Local anesthetics
Preoperative medication
Airway management
Monitoring the anesthetized patient
Epidural and spinal anesthesia
Peripheral nerve blockade
Cancer therapy and its anesthetic implications
The allergic response
Anesthesia for nonoperative locations
Postoperative recovery
Management of acute and chronic pain
The goals of this program are to improve management of analgesia after cesarean delivery and to improve management of anesthesia for the obese obstetric patient. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1: Recognize the relationship between postcesarean analgesia and chronic pain.
2: Discuss various modalities of postcesarean analgesia and regimens that combine their use.
3: List the risks associated with obesity duringpregnancy.
4: Describe techniques and precautions that improve maternal and fetal outcomes in obese obstetric patients.
5: Optimize postoperative pain control and respiratory recovery in the obese obstetric patient.
