Who are Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs)?
CRNAs are professional registered nurses who are independently licensed to deliver anesthetics. These specialists work in every healthcare arena in which anesthesia is delivered, from major urban medical centers to the offices of private practice physicians. It is estimated that CRNAs administer more than 65% of the 26 million anesthetics delivered in the U.S. each year.
