As advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) specializing in anesthesia care, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), also known as nurse anesthesiologists or nurse anesthetists, safely administer more than 50 million anesthetics annually in the U.S. across various settings, including hospital surgical suites, dental offices, podiatry clinics, ophthalmology centers, plastic surgery offices, and pain management specialists. CRNAs also provide anesthesia in the U.S. military, Public Health Services, and Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities. They represent more than 80% of anesthesia providers in rural counties, where many rural hospitals depend on CRNAs for anesthesia care.
