Student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) must swiftly recognize and treat high-risk, low-incidence complications in a high-stress environment. Most SRNAs do not experience high mortality or rare emergencies throughout their training. This project involves developing and implementing two high-fidelity simulations for airway fire and venous air embolism (VAE) to help SRNAs improve their skills in a safe learning environment. Objectives for this project include examining current evidenced-based literature to determine the efficacy of high-fidelity simulation on the SRNA’s knowledge and performance post-simulation, determining the incidence, pathophysiology, and treatments for airway fires and VAE, creating two high-fidelity simulation scenarios, and integrating the …

A national survey of 143 Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists (SRNAs) conducted by Clancy and Bruinius (2022) revealed that factors impeding effective SRNA clinical education include unstable preceptorship, hostile environments, limited autonomy, and heavy didactic burdens. Clancy and Bruinius (2022) also found that facilitators of SRNA clinical education include rapport with preceptors, effective feedback, strong clinical site orientation, and beginning of day discussions. This project aimed to enhance second-year SRNAs' clinical success by mitigating these evidence-based barriers and employing these evidence-based facilitators by developing a presentation for SRNAs and assessing its effectiveness through a pre-implementation survey and post-implementation survey. The literature …
