#44 – Clinical Flow: from OR set up through intubation with Ashley Scheil, BSN, SRNA

In this episode, Ashley and I talk through how to set up an operating room anesthesia workstation, perform a preoperative patient assessment and progress through an IV induction and intubation. You’ll hear Ashley walk you through everything from how to do a quick machine set up, where to put your tape, how to introduce yourself to patients & work through a preop assessment and how to proceed from getting in the door of the OR through getting the tube where you want it to go after induction. This is a great podcast to help SRNAs and other anesthesia learners to get their clinical flow down! Ashley Scheil earned her BSN from Purdue University in 2012. She worked as a critical care Registered Nurse in the surgical ICU at the Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis for 6 years before going back to anesthesia school to earn her DNP at Marian University in May of 2020.
