Career
Prospects
A career in anaesthesiology is one of the most beneficial areas in the field of healthcare. Anaesthesiologists are physicians who administer anaesthesia prior to a surgical procedure. They are only needed during the operations and are not required to stay in the hospital for long hours. The course is ideal for candidates who even though uninterested in become doctors, have an interest in work in a surgical setting. CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anaesthetist) is an advanced practicing nurse who also controls anaesthesia for patients before and after the surgery in the absence of the Anaesthesiologist. CRNAs perform essential duties of Anaesthesiologists, but are needed to work at a facility where an Anaesthesiologist is on- staff and can offer supervision such as quality control or emergency back-up when needed.
