Updated Practice Document: Adding New Activities to Scope 

 

CRNAs/nurse anesthesiologists assessing whether a procedure or technique falls within their anesthesia, sedation, pain management, or related scope, should use the updated Adding New Activities and Specialty Clinical Practice to Individual CRNA Scope of Practice. 

 

Updates include changes to the "AANA Resources," "Sample State Decision Analysis Resources" sections, and incorporating information from the CRNA Specialty Clinical Practice position statement, which has now been archived. Remember to update this document in the print version of your manual.
