It showed CRNAs under anesthesiologists supervision achieved better outcomes. The study sends no such message, Gunn said. The analysis investigated postoperative complications, the vast majority of which have nothing to do with anesthesia care, she said. Gunn also questioned the study s lack of statistics for patients treated by anesthesiologists practicing independently. They prefer to do the anesthesia care team approach, which allows them higher income.
Anesthesiologists can bill for medically directing CRNAs.
Nurse anesthetists sought to revise those rules to better reflect current practice. Foster does not see an end to the turf war even if the HCFA proposal wins approval, but he does foresee a more intelligent use of anesthesia services. I think the supervisory role does not work anymore. The Me Tarzan, you Jane atmosphere is counterproductive. The battle between nurse anesthetists and anesthesiologists Don't drop the ball Nurse managers take on more and more.
