Anesthesia Pharmacology Update: New Drugs, New Evidence
The drugs changed. Has your practice?
A focused update on the medications reshaping anesthesia practice: GLP-1 receptor agonists before surgery, drug selection and dosing strategy in obesity, newer agents and how they compare with what you use now, and the interactions hiding in a patient's home medication list.
Practicing CRNAs who want a current, evidence-based pharmacology update grounded in real cases.
What you'll be able to do
Concrete, bedside-ready capabilities — not abstract objectives.
Apply current perioperative guidance for patients taking GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Plan anesthetic drug selection and dosing strategy for patients with obesity.
Compare newer anesthetic agents with established alternatives on evidence, not marketing.
Recognize clinically important interactions between anesthetic drugs and common home medications.
Locate and judge current drug information sources, from FDA labeling to recent trials.
