Anesthesia Care Team Model

The Anesthesia Care Team Model is a collaborative approach used during surgeries and procedures requiring anesthesia. It involves a group of trained professionals, typically including an anesthesiologist (a doctor specializing in anesthesia) and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs). Together, they assess the patient, administer anesthesia, monitor vital signs, and ensure safety throughout the procedure. This teamwork allows for more personalized care and efficient management of anesthesia, ultimately leading to better outcomes for the patient. The model emphasizes clear communication and coordination among team members to provide high-quality medical care.
