 What Do CRNAs Do?

CRNAs are specially trained and educated professionals who have been providing surgical anesthesia and pain management services in a variety of clinical settings for more than 150 years. 

CRNAs provide comprehensive anesthesia care to patients before, during, and after surgical and obstetrical procedures and are the primary anesthesia professionals in rural and medically underserved areas. CRNAs practice in every setting in which anesthesia is administered, including traditional hospital and obstetrical surgical suites, interventional pain management, critical care units, and ambulatory surgical centers.
