Breakthroughs in healthcare are always exciting to learn more about and one that caught our attention is GLPs, a group of therapeutic agents revolutionizing the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. We spent time with Amy M. Reed, PhD, CRNA at the AANA Annual Congress in San Diego to learn more about the potential of GPS and how therapeutic agents are not only transforming diabetes care but also showing promise in other medical areas.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

• What does the current literature say regarding preoperative management of patients taking GLP-1 RAs?
• Importance of nurse anesthesia programs and grassroots effort for POCgUS implementation.
• What are our national organizations’ positions on point of care ultrasound?
• How Amy became interested in teaching and educating nurse anesthesia residents.
• Amy’s perspective on the shortage of faculty and what we can do to rectify the shortage.
