Hi, yes that is right, when I say independentley, I mean we see the patient and pre anesthesia and check their medical bakground and if a patient is'nt a suitable candidate for anesthesia, we wont go on operating or sedate them. Big responsibility but we love it.
Hi, I am a RN anethetist from Sweden, and I can inform you that we pretty much do everything when it comes to anesthesia care for patient during surgury and post operation. We put the patient into sleep, take care of the airway, give pain killer, sedativ, muscle relaxation and so on.
