NA645 Advanced Physiology and Pathophysiology I (6 cr.)Prerequisite(s): NA640 , Concurrent enrollment NA614 and NA618
This course builds on the Registered Nurse’s prior baccalaureate curriculum in anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology to provide an advanced study in physiology, and pathophysiology. This course is the first in a series of two courses. Topics covered in this course include airway anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology, cytology, hematology, immunology, endocrinology, oncology, central and peripheral neurology (including sympathetic and parasympathetic physiology and pathophysiology), osteology, and myology.
Upon completion of this course, students are expected to be able to do the following:
- Interpret the implications of pathophysiology within cellular function and excitable tissues for anesthetic care.
- Apply knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of the airway to determine appropriate airway management.
- Examine the normal and abnormal functioning of all components of the a) central and peripheral nervous systems, b) sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, c) immune system, d) endocrine organs and system, e) musculoskeletal system, and f) pulmonary system.
- Interpret the implications of pathophysiology within the blood cells including anemias, polycythemias, hemostasis, and coagulation.
- Formulate an anesthetic plan for patients with oncological diseases.
- Differentiate the abnormal from normal functioning of the skeletal and cardiac smooth muscles.
- Discuss the implications and therapies associated with both acute and chronic pulmonary issues.
- Formulate an anesthetic plan for patient’s chronic pulmonary diseases.
