50% improved maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) and enhanced skeletal muscle health (size, function, as well as metabolic and communicative properties) compared to non-exercisers at a similar age. By taking a reductionist...
The gene CHEK2 is located at 22q12.1 and codes for the protein checkpoint kinase 2, a protein that functions in cell cycle regulation and is a known tumor suppressor. CHEK2 is activated due to DNA damage generating a cascade of...
Background: Simulation based training continues to be a growing element of healthcare education. Simulation training allows student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) to practice critical skills in a low stress environment....
Background and Review of Literature: Post-operative nausea and vomiting remains a constant threat to patients undergoing anesthesia. As such a myriad of drug compounds are utilized in the practice of anesthesia to prevent and...
This project was submitted to the faculty of Marian University Leighton School of Nursing as partial fulfillment of degree requirements for the Doctor of Nursing Practice Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Track. The...
The difficult airway algorithm is a necessary technique that must be mastered by all student nurse anesthetists. Students in Marian University’s Nurse Anesthesia Program are taught the potentially life-saving skills included in...
Background and Review of Literature: The presurgical anesthesia machine check is a critical procedure that all anesthesia providers must be capable of performing. Failing to perform an anesthesia machine check increases...
Creating a focused simulation design promotes an essential structure needed to support SRNA confidence and performance success on GA inductions. Additionally, the successful completion of simulation designs is consistent with...
Background and Review of Literature: The ability to manage a patient's airway is a critical skill an anesthesia provider must possess. Poor airway management can result in inadequate ventilation, which can lead to brain damage...
