SNACC Neuroanesthesia Classroom – Week 3

GO TO WEEKLY OUTLINE
WEEK 1
WEEK 2
WEEK 3
WEEK 4

During week three, the trainee will acquire foundational knowledge of spinal cord anatomy and physiology. The trainee will:

  • Describe the basic anatomy of the spinal cord, including blood supply and organization of the motor and sensory tracts within the spinal cord
  • Understand principles of intraoperative neuromonitoring for spine surgery including effects of physiologic and anesthetic factors.
  • Discuss intraoperative management of patients undergoing spine surgery including airway management, analgesia, blood conservation strategies, and positioning concerns
  • Understand presentation and pathophysiology of acute and chronic spinal cord injury and concerns for anesthetic management.
