CRNA Health Problems

Yeah, they were all "British" studies, and yeah, a lot of them involved unscavenged dental offices, but still the rate of birth defects was significant. And yes, it might have been associated with some of those "older" agents we used to use besides N2O.

Anecdotally, I've seen way too many spontaneous abortions in female CRNAs. I've seen many have healthy babies, and I've heard the arguement that some women are just "prone" to miscarriages, but my experience leads me to push for caution. And there used to be issues in PACUs too.

Hope I didn't ruin anyone's day or dreams.

I've heard something recently, but don't know if it's true and was wondering what y'all thought. I've heard that working in anesthsia causes health problems down the road. Is this true? What kinds of problems?

I actually had the same question....anyone got any info as I'd like to have a family someday. I am also concerned with the x-rays during procedures...as I've often seen CRNA's not wearing any protective gear....
