Major(s) of all individuals presenting this work Bio of all individuals presenting this work Jacob, KayLeigh, and Tara are Registered Nurses currently completing their Doctorate in Nurse Anesthesia Practice. Each shares deep roots in the Florida Panhandle, having been raised in Bay and Jackson Counties before pursuing nursing careers in different regions across the United States. Now reunited in Panama City to advance their education, they have returned to the communities that first inspired their call to serve. Training and providing care close to home has profoundly shaped their professional journeys and impacted them in ways that are difficult to put into words. Poster Title Abstract Dexmedetomidine has emerged as a valuable adjunct in anesthetic management for laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Research was conducted and published in the early 2000s, with a subsequent increase in clinical application in 2010. The goal of this project was to educate Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologists (CRNAs) on the drug's advantageous pharmacologic profile, appropriate dosing regimen, and the clinical situations in which dexmedetomidine should be used, thereby leading to its utilization in subsequent cases. Pre- and post-intervention data were collected over 2 weeks each. Between data collection weeks, an educational intervention was completed. Most significantly, our survey showed a 31% increase in providers reporting no concerns about using dexmedetomidine in future laparoscopic cases. However, our research also revealed a barrier that hindered the medication’s use in the operating room.
