Episode 17: Anesthesia Q&A Round 4 - Reversals Medications for Opioid, Benzodiazepine, and Neuromuscular Blocking Agents

Episode SummaryEvery fourth episode we will release a podcast where we ask and answer questions about an anesthesiology or pharmacological topic and we’ll call it ANESTHESIA Q&A. We do this to help our community solidify their learning! We also produce these episodes because nurse anesthesia students and practicing CRNAs are all engaged in answering questions whether it be on exams during anesthesia school or for CRNA recertification.In today’s episode we focus on reversal medications for opioids, benzodiazepines, and neuromuscular blocking drugs…all medications commonly used in ICUs and during anesthesia practice.
