title: AANA Journal course: update for nurse anesthetists--do psychotropes affect anesthetic medications?
abstract: Psychotropic medications modify the psychic function behavior or experiences of persons using them. They can be divided into the following classes: antipsychotic, antidepressant, antianxiety, and mood stabilizing. There are significant implications for the anesthetist caring for patients on these medications. These issues are reviewed in this installment of the AANA Journal course.
