Anesthesiologist @GasWeTrust

This is such a terrible idea. Yes CRNAs can deliver anesthesia. The basis for needing anesthesiologists is to handle complex cases and emergencies. Is this hospital going to disclose this to their patients when getting consent for surgery? medscape.com/viewarticle/94…

@NgeepC @Lynn55161768 @nachomamarn @Caulimovirus NOT the same as physician's education and expertise, nurse. BTW, there is no such entity as a "nurse anesthesiologist". You're right; can't fix stupid. Bye.

It takes over 10k hours to become an expert. Physician (MD/DO) w/ over 15k hrs high-intensity, anesthesiology training -> #Anesthesiologist Nurse w/ 2-3k hrs of post-grad nurse anesthesia training -> Nurse anesthetist (#CRNA) No such thing as nurse anesthesiologist.

The care of a physician anesthesiologist helps reduce unnecessary testing, same-day cancellations, operating room emergencies, and surgical complications. Learn how physician anesthesiologists benefit patients and health systems: ow.ly/y3Op50DBJ5P

Happy Anesthesiologist Week! I love my job!! We treat traumas, code blues, pain (procedures and drug knowledge), epidurals for delivery, intubate, manage complex ICU patients, treat COVID patients, deliver anesthesia for transplants (heart,lung,liver...), and more. #PhysAnesWk21

It's National Certified Anesthesiologist Assistants week! Thank you CAAs and SAAs, for your commitment to patient safety, the Anesthesia Care Team model, and especially for helping the medical community manage the strain caused by #COVID19. @AnesAssistants

When I was an RN, I started down the road to be a CRNA. I then realized that I didn't want to take a short cut and leave the road only partially traveled. I applied to medical school instead and finished the journey. Never sell yourself short and only go partway.

If nurse anesthetists (CRNA) want to be called anesthesiologists so badly, the solution is simple. Go to medical school, complete 4 more years of anesthesiology residency to become an expert in anesthesiology, and then you can call yourself a nurse + anesthesiologist. #Facts

Nurse Anesthesiologist? The ending "ologist" denotes someone who has engaged in the fulsome study of a scientific discipline. It does NOT mean someone who has learned enough about it to apply a bit of knowledge to technical tasks. .

Wondering how to get involved? We’ve got you covered—with a toolkit, social media graphics, tips to schedule a virtual meeting with a policymaker, and more! Make your plan: ow.ly/CYOh50D5wMY #PhysAnesWk21 #anesthesiology #anesthesia

An anesthesiologist is a physician (MD/DO) who completed residency in anesthesiology with over 15k hours of high-intensity medical training. A nurse anesthetist (CRNA) is a nurse who completed post-grad nurse anesthesia training with 2-3k hours. Not real = #nurseanesthesiologist

TOMORROW is the last day to urge @DeptVetAffairs to uphold the longstanding and safe physician-led, team-based model of anesthesia care for #Veterans. Act now: safevacare.org #SafeVACare

It takes over 10k hours to become an expert. Physician (MD/DO) w/ over 15k hrs high-intensity, anesthesiology training -> #Anesthesiologist Nurse w/ 2-3k hrs of post-grad nurse anesthesia training -> Nurse anesthetist (#CRNA) No such thing as nurse anesthesiologist.

ONE WEEK LEFT: @ASALifeline urges the public to submit comments in response to an interim rule by @DeptVetAffairs that risks the lives of #Veterans & instead support the longstanding physician-led model of anesthesia care: safevacare.org

There’s no shortage of physician anesthesiologists at VA. So why is VA trying to replace them with nurses? Stand up for #Veterans. Submit a comment by January 11: ow.ly/vGiQ50CXGqQ #SafeVACare

“While there is no question about the level of service and professionalism CRNAs bring to anesthesia care, they are not anesthesiologists, in the same way nurses are not physicians." spr.ly/6018GenHe #StopScopeCreep
