Nurse Anesthetists

Patients receive pain medicine (anesthesia) from a nurse anesthetist before, during, and after surgery. They give medications to keep patients sleepy or pain-free throughout surgery, and they keep track of every biological process in the body. Anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists both administer anesthesia to patients, but their educational and career paths differ: a nurse anesthetist is an advanced nurse with a nursing educational and professional background, whereas anesthesiologists are doctors who have completed medical school and residency training. Nurse anesthetists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, doctors' offices, surgical clinics, military hospitals, psychiatric facilities, respiratory therapy departments, emergency rooms, and outpatient care centers. During a medical operation, nurse anesthetists provide anesthesia, which prevents you from feeling pain or worry. Before a medical treatment, your nurse anesthetist will explain which type of anesthetic will be used and how it will be administered, as well as potential risks and adverse effects. They may conduct a physical examination and inquire about your medical background. The nurse anesthetist will start the anesthetic and monitor your vital signs right before the surgery (such as heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and breathing). They'll be with you during the procedure, monitoring your vital signs and changing the anaesthetic dosage as needed to keep you comfortable and safe.
