A nurse anesthetist is an advanced practice nurse who administers anesthesia for surgery or other medical procedures. Nurse anesthetists (NA's) administer or participate in administration of anesthesia services in 107 countries,working with or without anesthesiologists. Because of different historical backgrounds,anesthetist responsibilities and roles vary widely between countries. Depending on the locality,their role may be limited to intraoperative care during anesthesia itself or may also extend before and after. The International Federation of Nurse Anesthetists was established in 1989 as a forum for developing standards of education,practice,and a code of ethics.
A Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) is a type of advanced practice nurse who administers anesthesia in the United States. CRNAs account for approximately half of the anesthesia providers in the United States and are the main providers (80%) of anesthesia in rural America. Historically,nurses have been providing anesthesia care to patients for over 160 years,dating back to the American Civil War (1861–1865). The CRNA credential was formally established in 1956. CRNA schools issue a Doctorate of nursing anesthesia degree to nurses who have completed a program in anesthesia,which is 3 years in length.
An advanced practice nurse (APN) is a nurse with post-graduate education and training in nursing. Nurses practicing at this level may work in either a specialist or generalist capacity. APNs are prepared with advanced didactic and clinical education,knowledge,skills,and scope of practice in nursing.
In the United States,anesthesia can be administered by physician anesthesiologists,an anesthesiologist assistant,or nurse anesthetist.
