In this episode of the AnesthesiaExam podcast, New York Anesthesiologist, David Rosenblum, MD  delves into the topic of maternal physiological changes during pregnancy and the associated concerns for anesthesia providers. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding these changes to ensure safe and effective anesthesia management for pregnant patients.

Dr. Rosenblum discusses the significant physiological changes that occur during pregnancy, particularly in the cardiovascular, respiratory, and hormonal systems. These changes impact drug distribution, elimination, ventilation, and the risk of aspiration.

Throughout the discussion, the host and guest highlight the need for anesthesia providers to stay updated on the latest evidence-based practices and guidelines for managing pregnant patients. They stress the importance of appropriate dosing, ventilation strategies, and addressing the increased risk of aspiration to maintain the well-being of both the mother and the fetus.

To further support Anesthesiologists and CRNAs  in their board exam preparation, we are offering the NRAP AnesthesiaExam board review course. The course is designed to provide comprehensive coverage of anesthesia with lectures, videos and question bank to ensure candidates are well-prepared for their exams. Listeners are encouraged to visit https://www.nrappain.org/courses/BasicAnesthesiaExam to access more information and register for the course.

The NRAP Academy is offering the exciting opportunity for anesthesia professionals interested in regional anesthesia ultrasound to train at one of our live ultrasound CME workshops. Dr. Rosenblum mentions regional anesthesia ultrasound courses in NY, the US and abroad.
