A Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) works with a team of health care professionals to provide care for patients undergoing procedures requiring anesthesia. A CRNA typically administers care to patients in a surgical, emergency or post-operative environment. Anesthesia nursing is practiced by nurses who have formal, post-secondary education and who function in highly specialized roles.
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA's) are anesthesia specialists who administer approximately 65% of the 26 million anesthetics given to patients each year in the United States. CRNA's are the sole anesthesia providers in approximately 50% of all hospitals and nearly 70% of the rural hospitals in the United States.
CRNA's provide anesthetics to patients in collaboration with surgeons, anesthesiologists, dentists, podiatrists and other qualified healthcare professionals. When anesthesia is administered by a nurse anesthetist, it is recognized as the practice of nursing; when administered by an anesthesiologist, it is recognized as the practice of medicine.
