How has anesthesia safety been improved in recent years?
There are a number of factors that have improved the practice of anesthesia. Anesthesiologist and Nurse Anesthetist training programs have improved the quality of knowledge and skill in new graduates through exposure to clinical and laboratory research, cutting edge techniques, and exposure to the most current methods and practices in anesthesia. Board certification examinations have ensured a strict standard of quality amongst new graduates. Continuing medical education programs enforced by state licensure requirements ensure that our staff is trained in the most up-to-date techniques in anesthesia and in the the most up-to-date knowledge base available. There have been numerous advances made in the drugs available for your anesthetic care as well as advances in the monitoring equipment used to assist us to ensure your safety during surgery.
