Help with references for Paper

Published

Specializes in Anesthesia.

Hey guys, I have been a member a while, have not posted recently, but been lurking!!!

I do have a question for anyone interested. I am currently working on a paper in my "politics and policy" class, as if I were trying to change policy for my state/nation to adopt the "opt-out" policy for CRNA supervision.

I could use some help with finding references for this paper. Anyone have any good ones? I need pros, and cons.

Thanks!!!

Go to the official AANA website, then find the "research" link that lists articles talking about the safety of crnas. The argument to support opt out would focus on equal safety compared to MDAs while providing more cost effective services. It would also suggest that patient care would suffer from lack of anesthesia providers if it is a state with a shortage. Focus on those issues because thier is proof to support it, just about any other argument is personal opinion. The articles on the website will reference other articles for you to check out.
