Not true. We give whatever we want.

Anesthesiologist are there for the beginning of the case and sometimes the end. They are never there the full case I can promise that. CRNAs run everything

CRNAs have been putting most people to sleep for decades.

The only requirement for most hospitals is that they meet three basic requirements;

1) that an MD anesthesiologist has signed off on the drug protocol for that patient

2) that the MD Anesthesiologist is in the hospital building while the surgery is in place

3) that the MD Anesthesiologist has no more than 4 surgeries going at one time


Everything else is done by a CRNA


You do realize that there are thousands of outpatient procedures everyday that are done in clinics (not hospitals) where an anesthesiologist and CRNA are required?

I've always had the anesthesiologist speak with me before and write for the meds. The CRNA came in afterwards.

As far as who runs the code, if I'm already intubated I'm better off than 95% of the other codes called in the hospital.

Which is why I listed the requirements for hospitals. Not for outpatient clinics whose rules can vary substantially

3am in the med surf unit


I know it was a typo but it is also true. A lot of internet surfing going on at 3 am on a typical med surg unit.

I am a CRNA. Been one for 23 years. I work with one anesthesiologist who does our Pre op’s but we do all the cases. We decide what to give and what airway we want to use. We also induce by ourselves and emerge by ourselves at our practice. I also work independently out of state and after hours when the physician anesthesiologist is gone. We do all of the blocks, central lines, A-lines, intubations etc. We are very capable and trained to run codes. Our physician anesthesiologist is also very capable of running codes. The key is to have one of us or someone else trained to run codes.
