Anesthesia Nurse

An anesthesia nurse, also known as an operating room nurse or perioperative nurse, specializes in caring for patients before, during, and after anesthesia administration during surgery. They assist anesthesiologists by preparing equipment, monitoring vital signs, and ensuring patient safety throughout the procedure. Their role includes assessing patients’ conditions, supporting them through anesthesia, and managing post-anesthesia recovery. These nurses must have a strong understanding of anesthesia processes, patient care, and emergency response to ensure a safe surgical experience. Their expertise is essential in minimizing risks and promoting optimal patient outcomes during surgical interventions.
