Cannabis: An Ancient Herb with Modern Anesthesia Challenges

As cannabis use surges, so do its implications in your OR. This course unpacks the pharmacology of THC and CBD, clarifies acute and chronic physiologic effects, and translates that science into practical perioperative decision-making. You’ll learn how to spot and manage acute intoxication, adjust anesthetic and analgesic plans for chronic users, and assess respiratory and cardiovascular risk—so you can safely navigate cannabis-related challenges from preop evaluation through postoperative recovery.
