CUTM 1820 PHARMACOLOGY RELATED TO ANESTHESIA 3-0-1 4

 

 

 

Course Objectives

 

  1. To impart detailed knowledge of pharmacological agents used in anesthesia and perioperative care.
  2. To develop understanding of drug classifications, mechanisms of action, indications, contraindications, and adverse effects relevant to anesthesia practice.
  3. To integrate pharmacology principles with clinical decision-making for respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, and perioperative management.
  4. To prepare learners for safe and effective use of emergency drugs, IV fluids, and drugs for metabolic and electrolyte disturbances in operative and critical care settings.

 

 

Course Outcomes

 

CO1: Understand pharmacotherapy principles for respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological disorders relevant to anesthesia.

 

CO2: Demonstrate knowledge of general and local anesthetics, skeletal muscle relaxants, sedatives, hypnotics, and anticonvulsants.

 

CO3: Apply pharmacological knowledge to safe perioperative and ICU drug administration.

 

CO4: Appraise emergency drug usage, fluid therapy, and drug treatment of metabolic and infectious conditions in anesthesia settings.
