Disease relevance of Nurse Anesthetists

• A nurse anesthetist who had experienced four systemic allergic reactions attributed to penicillin exposure was safely and successfully desensitized to penicillin despite predominantly minor determinant allergy (benzyl penicilloate skin test was positive at 1:100,000 dilution of standard 10 mM solution) [1].
• Many physicians, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), and registered nurses have the clinical impression that either morphine sulfate or meperidine hydrochloride is a better drug to control postoperative pain [2].

High impact information on Nurse Anesthetists

• In a few centers, propofol has reportedly been used in endoscopic procedures and administered by nurses supervised by gastroenterologists without attendance by anesthesiologists or nurse anesthetists [3].
• In spite of the development of more potent, safer, faster onset, and both shorter and longer lasting alternative opioids, fentanyl remains the mainstay of anesthesiologists and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists in the perioperative period, and for many pain physicians throughout the world [4].
• We collected sera from 105 pediatric and 53 general anesthesiologists (including 3 nurse anesthetists), 20 halothane hepatitis patients, and 20 control individuals who were never exposed to inhaled anesthetics [5].
• We designed a cross-sectional investigation to study the prevalence of CTS in nurse anesthetists (NAs) as compared with operating room nurses (ORNs) [6].
• OBJECTIVES: To determine the knowledge level and skill base in nurse anesthetists before and after brief ACLS training, and again three months later [7].

• Legal case briefs for nurses. OH: nurse anesthetists sue Board of Medicine: illegal practice of medicine issue; IN: failure to read and heed warning: "for external use only" product instilled [9].
• Pennsylvania Blue Shield agrees to reimburse nurse anesthetists [10].
• Navy nurse anesthetists at Fleet Hospital Five: the Desert Shield/Storm experience [11].
• This paper was written to familiarize nurse anesthetists with one of the new targets, ionotropic glutamate receptors [12].

• Point: MSN is the appropriate academic credential for nurse anesthetists [15].
• The 1st-CLASS Fusion Program, an expert system "shell-program," has been programmed to allow the resident or nurse anesthetist to solve the two most common types of problems associated with the recordkeeper: printer problems and patient monitor problems [16].
• This article discusses the basic characteristics of the prospective payment system (PPS), its impact on certified registered nurse anesthetists, and the response of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists to the PPS legislation [17].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Nurse Anesthetists

• In all cases, the anesthesia protocol used included sedation with midazolam, propofol, and a narcotic administered by a board-certified registered nurse anesthetist with local anesthesia provided by the surgeon [18].
