PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE & VASCULAR ANESTHESIA (PART 2) │ EP59

In this episode of the Atomic Anesthesia Podcast, host Dr. Rhea Temmermand is joined by vascular anesthesia expert Rick Heuermann, DNP, MBA, CRNA, to unravel the complex pathophysiology of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and its impact on anesthetic management. Together, they break down healthy versus diseased arterial function, highlight why patients with PVD present unique challenges in the OR, and provide practical, evidence-based strategies for optimizing hemodynamics and minimizing perioperative risks in vascular surgery. Whether a seasoned clinician or a student navigating CRNA school, listeners will gain clinical insight and case-based wisdom for safer, more effective care of patients with PVD.
