Maintenance of Anesthesia - Managing Patient Vitals As A Nurse Anesthetist

What am I supposed to do with myself during the maintenance of anesthesia phase while on a case?

Unfortunately, it’s not break time! While it can be a bit of a juggling game, we’ve got the details for you! If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode “Induction of Anesthesia”, pause and go check it out; you may also benefit from the "Pre-Op Assessment" episode.

Today, we’re discussing how to prepare for, maintain, and efficiently move through the maintenance phase of anesthesia. In this episode, we cover:

Factors to consider when positioning the patient before they are asleep

Key aspects to monitor for optimal patient comfort and safety during this phase

How to build trust with your surgical team and communicate effectively

Managing vitals while monitoring patient comfort

The best time to begin and update your charting (+ some tips for paper charting)

When (and how) to prepare for your next cases during any downtime in the maintenance phase

Crafting your game plan for wakeup (+ troubleshooting possible problems ahead of time)

Happy maintaining, and cheers, future CRNA!
