About this listen
In this episode of the Atomic Anesthesia Podcast, nurse anesthesia residents are guided through the pivotal moments of emergence and extubation—recognized as one of the riskiest steps in the operating room. Listeners will gain practical strategies for timing and executing a safe, efficient wake-up following general anesthesia, including the choice between restoring spontaneous breathing early for extremity and head or neck surgeries, or precisely titrating off anesthetics and using nitrous oxide during abdominal and thoracic procedures. The episode breaks down emergence criteria, ventilatory and hemodynamic parameters, medication effects, and the consequences of mixing techniques, all illustrated with clear, experience-based teaching points drawn from years of practice. CRNAs at all levels are invited to reflect, share their own perspectives, and incorporate these actionable insights to optimize patient safety, comfort, and workflow in the perioperative environment.
