Under the supervision of the attending anesthesiologist, the resident evaluates the patient and confirms an appropriate anesthesia plan based on the individual needs of the patient (3). They also adjust anesthesia levels as needed to ensure that patients remain unconscious and as pain-free as possible during the surgery (4).
Imagine this scenario: You’ve just finished anesthetizing a patient in a hospital setting, and the patient now requires transport from the operating room (OR) to the post-anesthesiacare unit (PACU). The anesthesiologist may be supervising the transfusion of blood, platelets, or plasma.
By contrast, CRNAs are registered nurses experienced in intensive care or emergency room nursing, who then enter a 2 – 3 year program of learning the skills to anesthetize patients. CRNAs can now administer anesthesia independent of any physician anesthesiologist supervision in the majority of the United States.
You supervise the rotating of the operating room table 180 degrees, so the patient’s head and airway are adjacent to the anesthesia equipment again. 1130 hours—The surgery ends. You discontinue all anesthetic drugs and wait for the patient to regain consciousness.

I recommend copies of the Stanford Emergency Manual be present in your operating room suites, on your Code Blue carts, and in your PostAnesthesiaCare Unit (PACU) to guide A-B-C care. They can watch you for a short period of time while you supervise the safe landing of the anesthesia plane.
