  1. First Wives Club author dead--Anesthesia related death?

    yoga crna replied to Toby's mum's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't know what happened, but from the article in the New York Times and her picture, I wonder if she was not the anesthesia horror of unable to intubate, unable to ventilate. The article included...

  2. Why Shouldn't I Tell?

    yoga crna replied to kmchugh's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The ability to apply your nursing skills to the peri-anesthesia experience is what being a nurse anesthetist is all about. My patients really appreciate the pre-op phone calls, the hand holding...

  3. Panniculectomy

    yoga crna replied to kmchugh's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What is the patient's weight and BMI? I would consider an epidural for post-op pain control. It may be a problem inserting one on a very large person, but I think you would have less respiratory...

  4. Stamina, fitness & CRNA stress--how do you manage?

    yoga crna replied to Toby's mum's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Of course, I do yoga. My instructor gives me private lessons in power yoga--he wrote a book on it--a good combination of stretching, yoga poses, balance, cardio and deep relaxation. I also lift...

  5. BSN sophomore standing for CRNA apps

    yoga crna replied to MJB's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I became a CRNA at the age of 22, back when it could be done that way. When I look back on it, I realize how immature I was in so many ways. Of course, I matured, both personally and in the field,...

  6. How busy are your clinicals?

    yoga crna replied to nilepoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Get as much clinical experience as you can. Anesthesia is primarily a clinical specialty and the more cases of all kinds you do. the better you become. It appears that all of you students are...

  7. How rude are surgeons?

    yoga crna replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have many years of practice in many situations and it has always been my observation that the best and most competent surgeons are also the nicest and easiest to work with in the operating room....

  8. 7 Calendar Years of Education????

    yoga crna replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    When you graduate from CRNA schoool, you should be able to administer anesthesia with little direction or supervision. The "senioritis" you had a year earlier quickly evaporates to a lot of humility...

  9. Sufenta

    yoga crna replied to Jake's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with Loisanne. Anyone in anesthesia or in nursing preparing to go into anesthesia knows where to get this information. Let us know who you are and why you want this information. Yoga

  10. Any new grads start in OR?

    yoga crna replied to Chrislynn2003's topic in Operating Room

    I am not a new grad, nor am I an OR Nurse. But I am the manager of an office surgery unit and work with some outstanding OR nurses. (I administer the anesthesia, as well as run the facility). My...

  11. Malpractice Insurance

    yoga crna replied to DustinRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't know much about flight nursing, but I do know a lot about being a CRNA, having been one for many years. When you are young in a profession trauma runs, codes, emergency situations, stat...

  12. how much is malpractice insurance

    yoga crna replied to zrmorgan's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you do a medline search you will find abstracts of closed claim studies by the ASA and AANA. I am uncomfortable posting specific information about lawsuits on any internet sites. There are many...

  13. Policies and Procedures help

    yoga crna replied to ezsleep's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Try posting this question on [email protected]. It is composed of a great group of CRNAs who are willing to share all kinds of information with you.

  14. Elective Surgery for Pregnant Patients

    yoga crna replied to kmchugh's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have to agree with your partner on this one. There is no legal justification to do elective surgery on pregnant patients. Besides the basic legal issue, I think it would be impossible to find an...

  15. how much is malpractice insurance

    yoga crna replied to zrmorgan's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Malpractice insurance rates for CRNAs are different state to state. The higher premium states are generally those that do not have tort reform laws. I live in a tort reform state and pay over...

  16. Settlement in Minnesota

    yoga crna replied to CRNA, DNSc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is wonderful news. The CRNAs in Minnesota have been persistent and instead of complaining did something about their problem. It cost them a lot of money, many jobs were lost and their personal...

  17. Legal Issues

    yoga crna posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am interested in hearing from the anesthesia students (and any others) what legal issues most interest them as students. Those issues can include student concerns and those related to being a CRNA....

  18. anesthesia and birth defects

    yoga crna replied to icurn96's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This subject has been very well studied and I would suggest that you do a Medline search on the topic. As an anesthesia student, you should know how to do that. If I remember correctly, stress was...

    CRNAs practice in all practice settings. Many are doing free-standing pain clinics. Other examples are administration, education. law, dentistry, continuing education business, locum tenes business,...

  20. SRNAs/CRNAs-Ketamine coming into vogue?

    yoga crna replied to Athlein's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I use ketamine frequently in my plastic surgery cases that I do under sedation. It is a good analgesic and works well when the local is inadequate or wearing off. While I don't like to give recipes,...

  21. scary.....

    yoga crna replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Don't underestimate the effects of these strong drugs. Last week, I gave a test dose (something I rarely do anymore) of propofol, turned around for a quick check of the oxygen flow, turned back to an...

  22. Cv?

    yoga crna replied to malraymal's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  23. CRNA gripes or lack thereof

    yoga crna replied to ASU_Sdvls's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Most CRNAs I know are very professional and are not complainers. There are probably many reasons including the two you mentioned, autonomy and pay. Also anesthesia is challenging, exciting and not...

  24. T.E.D.s do u use them for all major cases only

    yoga crna replied to carcha's topic in Operating Room

    The best and most current article I have seen is in the June, 21 2003 British Medical Journal. I believe it is . This is an excellent site for full length articles at no cost. I read it every week....

  25. CRNA vs. MDA

    yoga crna replied to jjjez's topic in Operating Room

    I think it is wrong to expect non-biased answers to your questions. There are variables in nurses, surgeons and anesthesia people. Generalizations are not very useful. When looking at an anesthesia...
