In today’s podcast Jeremy and Mark review several anesthesia concepts that were covered in previous episodes…specifically Malignant Hyperthermia, Pulse Oximetry, and Adrenal Crisis.
As educators we know it’s important to revisit and review anesthesia concepts in order to help with long term memory retention. There’s actually a learning technique called
spaced learning (or spaced repetition) where information is reviewed at increasing intervals over time, instead of being crammed in a single session.
This method leverages the psychological spacing effect, where learning and retention are more effective when study sessions are spread out. And in the context of learning anesthesia concepts, spaced learning helps learners more efficiently memorize and deeply understand complex topics by reinforcing the material at various intervals, allowing for better long-term retention.
Also, since all CRNAs will need to recertify their credential in the future with the NBCRNAs new MAC questions…these episodes will help with that too!
