Delivering expert anesthesia care to Missouri citizens. Nurse Anesthetists have more than 150 years of history and care delivery. Care you can count on --CRNAs.

@wiscoblue @kari_jerge @RayneKThomanRN I first made a reply thanking you for being a credit to your profession and preferring to do your own cases. Comments indicating you don’t believe CRNAs are capable of reading the same texts or benefit from the same clinical experiences are disappointing.

[Missouri Association of Nurse Anesthetists @MissouriANA]

@sigmunddreud @kari_jerge CRNAs have been “a thing” since before anesthesia became a medical specialty. Calling for another set of hands in an emergency does not require that those hands sign MD/DO behind their name. Anesthesia providers are held to the same standard whether they are physicians or CRNAs.

@NPjourney @kari_jerge If you advocate for independent practice for yourself as an NP, why would you exclude your fellow APRNs? CRNAs were the first APRNs, and our clinical outcomes and legislative efforts paved the way for the billing rights you enjoy as a provider. #crnation #aprn

@jnahmias1 @kari_jerge All 50 states allow this.

[Missouri Association of Nurse Anesthetists @MissouriANA]

@kari_jerge You are most welcome. Thank you for facilitating a productive and civil conversation.

[Missouri Association of Nurse Anesthetists @MissouriANA]

In all 50 states, CRNAs are qualified and permitted to administer anesthesia without the supervision of a physician anesthesiologist. CRNAs are fully qualified, board certified anesthesia providers who are held to the same standard of care as our physician counterparts. #CRNAtion

@DGlaucomflecken So....it’s not anesthesia’s fault? I don’t know what to say.

[Joseph Rodriguez @JRod_AZThoughts]

This is a great move that immediately opens all states to current AAs, Arguably enhances safety, and does not reduce competition in the anesthesia space.

There are other remaining options to deal with this issue, but this is a good start.

Happy Veterans Day to Veterans everywhere, and especially to our own CRNAs!

@dougducey did the right thing. @NancyBarto @CatoHealth If nurses are certified to offer anesthesia, why must a doctor watch them do it? https://t.co/F2JZBhkBa0 via @azcentral

An image of a lovers’ gaze in the most unlikely situation during the coronavirus has inspired people. The moment between married nurse anesthetists, in between surgeries, strikes a chord because "...it’s a symbol of hope and love,” says husband, Ben Cayer. https://t.co/1GejwdNict

As airway management experts, CRNAs are forming special airway response teams at many hospitals to intubate COVID-19 patients. Particularly in rural hospitals, CRNAs are often among the first providers caring for these critically ill patients. Read more: https://t.co/fF8HSnusTf.

[AANA @aanacrna]

Twelve state governors have issued executive orders to suspend restrictions on full scope of practice for CRNAs. The AANA encourages other states to take action to expand the healthcare workforce during this critical time. Read more: https://t.co/C64GAncjSP.

CRNAs are a valuable, largely untapped resource willing to mitigate the strain upon our current healthcare system. Crisis management is what we are trained for, and our clinical skillset is beautifully matched for respiratory disease. #crna #aprn #nurseanesthesiologist

[AANA @aanacrna]

Breaking: @CMS temporarily suspends physician supervision requirements for CRNAs—an action that the AANA deems a critical step for CRNAs to serve the U.S. healthcare system more effectively during the #COVID19 pandemic. Read more https://t.co/s0wfkbFNNL.

@RandyMooreCRNA We know you will represent us well!

[AANA @aanacrna]

As Americans are being told to isolate themselves from the threat of COVID-19, CRNAs do not have that choice. The AANA is grateful for the dedication and excellence in clinical care provided by CRNAs across the country.

@redheadcher @vickinortonmd @SunSentinel Everyone is susceptible to confirmation bias. That is why everyone stands to benefit from a collegial discussion of facts.
