Preceptors, Coordinators, Faculty — The Foundation of Every Anesthesia Provider.

The future of nurse anesthesia starts with education—and educators (preceptors, coordinators, faculty, and administrators) like you make it possible. So I am proud to announce the official launch of the Society of Nurse Anesthesia Educators (SNAE).

SNAE is a community dedicated to advancing excellence in nurse anesthesia education, fostering innovation, and supporting those who shape the next generation of CRNAs.

Whether you’re a seasoned educator, a clinical instructor, or passionate about academic leadership, SNAE offers opportunities to collaborate, grow, and lead meaningful change in our profession.

✨ Connect with peers
✨ Share knowledge and best practices
✨ Advocate for the future of nurse anesthesia education

Join us in strengthening the foundation of our profession and empowering the educators who make it thrive.

👉 Become a member today and help advance nurse anesthesia education for tomorrow.

I’m excited to share that Pinnacle Preceptor Academy has partnered with Summit Anesthesia Seminars to advance the quality, consistency, and impact of both classroom and clinical teaching. Together with Melissa Eisenhaur, we’ve developed a comprehensive set of professional development opportunities designed specifically for clinical preceptors and educators, including immersive in-person workshops, interactive virtual sessions, and flexible online continuing education modules. Our goal is to equip preceptors with practical, evidence-based strategies to confidently teach, coach, evaluate, and support learners in complex healthcare environments. By focusing on meaningful feedback, psychological safety, clinical reasoning, and progressive autonomy, we hope to elevate preceptorship from a role clinicians fill into a skill professionals intentionally develop—ultimately improving learner success, clinician confidence, and patient care outcomes.

When the attendees at the conference are tired of hearing you talk so they have the DJ setting up next door run the smoke machine to set the fire alarms off. 🤷‍♂️😀🔥🔥

Excited about this new adventure to shape CRNA education with Melissa Fitch Eisenhauer and Summit Anesthesia Seminars.

Great clinicians aren’t automatically great preceptors — but they can become exceptional ones!

If you’re ready to grow as a preceptor or educator, Pinnacle Preceptor Academy provides the structure, tools, and confidence to teach with purpose and impact.

In countless operating rooms, delivery suites, and trauma settings across the country, you’ll find CRNAs practicing the science and heart of anesthesia.

These highly trained professionals guide patients through their most vulnerable moments with unmatched skill, compassion, and reassurance. Whether it’s a child undergoing their first operation, a wounded soldier on the front lines, or a senior facing a crucial procedure, CRNAs are the anesthesia experts there to keep their patients safe, comfortable, and cared for.

National CRNA Week celebrates the 75,000+ Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and residents in nurse anesthesiology programs across the United States. Join us in honoring these trusted professionals and the lives they touch every day during , Jan. 18-24, 2026.

Metabolic Alkalosis
Cause:
Loss of acid or gain of base

ABG Findings:
pH = ↑ > 7.45
PaCO₂ = ↑ (compensatory hypoventilation)
HCO₃⁻ = ↑ > 26 mEq/L

Common Causes:
Vomiting, gastric suctioning (acid loss)
Diuretic therapy
Excess bicarbonate intake
Hypokalemia

Compensation:
Hypoventilation to retain CO₂ (limited by hypoxia)

Metabolic Acidosis
Cause:
Gain of acid or loss of base

ABG Findings:
pH = ↓ < 7.35
PaCO₂ = ↓ (compensatory hyperventilation)
HCO₃⁻ = ↓ < 22 mEq/L

Common Causes:
Increased acid: Lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis, renal failure
Loss of base: Diarrhea, pancreatic fistula

Compensation:
Hyperventilation (↓ PaCO₂ via Kussmaul respirations)

Check:
Anion Gap = Na⁺ – (Cl⁻ + HCO₃⁻)
Normal: 8–12 mEq/L
Elevated gap → accumulation of acids (e.g., DKA, lactic acidosis)
