CRNAs deliver safe and effective anesthesia—on the battlefield, in the delivery room, in dental and GI practices—everywhere!
With a history spanning more than 150 years, CRNAs stay with their patients throughout their procedure, administering their anesthetics and monitoring their vital signs. Each year CRNAs ensure that millions of patients receive the safest anesthesia care possible.
It is an honor and a privilege to take our patients through anesthesia and safe surgical experiences. Surgery and anesthesia can be intimidating, but we stay with our patients, administering their anesthetics, and watching over their vital signs – advocating for them throughout the surgery. We take great pride in being there for every heartbeat.
CRNAs will be educating the public about the role we take in providing safe and effective anesthesia care for every patient during the 21st annual National CRNA Week celebration taking place January 19-25, 2020.
The public education theme, “CRNAs: The Future of Anesthesia Care Today,” reflects the fact that nearly 54,000 CRNAs and student registered nurse anesthetists provide more than 49 million anesthetics to patients in the United States each year, delivering the same safe, high-quality anesthesia care as other anesthesia professionals but at a lower cost, helping to control the nation’s rising healthcare costs.
