Objectives of the Course The student will be able to prepare and apply the types of drugs used in premedication, general anesthesia and local anesthesia.
Course Content Among premedication drugs are sedatives, anxiolytics, anticholinergics, antihistamines, and gastric medications. Gaseous and volatile anesthetics, intravenous anesthetics and their antagonists, as well as TIVA (total intravenous anesthesia) applications, hold an important place. Local anesthetics and toxicity management, neuromuscular blockers and their antagonists, adrenergic and hypotensive drugs are also frequently used in anesthesia practice. In addition, analgesics, intravenous fluids, and oxygen and carbon dioxide gases are fundamental components of anesthesia practice.
Course Methods and Techniques Lecture (direct instruction), question-and-answer, discussion, case study, group work, and brainstorming techniques are used.
