Mass General Brigham, Boston, Massachusetts, us, 02298
Job Summary
A Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) is responsible for the pre-operative, intra-operative, and immediate post-operative care of the patient requiring anesthesia for surgical, medical, therapeutic, or diagnostic procedures. This care includes pre-operative assessments, anesthetic care plans, assembly and care of specialized equipment, application, insertion, and interpretation of data from anesthetic monitors, airway management, delivery of general, regional anesthesia, and monitored anesthetic care, induction, maintenance, and emergence of the patient, care of the patient in the immediate post-operative setting, and post-operative assessments in collaboration with a physician member of the Department of Anesthesiology. These services are rendered in the main operating rooms, Labor and Delivery, and designated “Out of OR” anesthesia locations (i.e., Radiology, MRT, etc.). The CRNA also fulfills a teaching function for the Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists that rotate to the BWH from Northeastern University for their clinical experience. Clinical research may be available as an adjunct for the CRNA who is interested in that area of practice, depending on protocols available, but it is not a department requirement, nor is it usually sponsored by the anesthesia department. All CRNAs must comply with federal, state, hospital, and departmental guidelines as they pertain to the delivery of anesthesia care at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
