Anesthesia Care Team (ACT)

The Anesthesia Care Team (ACT) is a group of healthcare professionals who work together to provide anesthesia and related care during surgeries and procedures. It typically includes anesthesiologists—medical doctors specializing in anesthesia—and nurse anesthetists, who are registered nurses with advanced training. The team collaborates to assess patients, develop anesthesia plans, monitor vital signs, and ensure safety throughout the procedure. ACT allows for efficient, personalized care, distributing responsibilities based on experience and qualifications, ultimately aiming for optimal patient safety, comfort, and successful recovery.
