Lakeland, Tennessee
Anesthesiology, Nurse Anesthetist - CRNA, Airway Management, Trauma, GI, Dentistry, Office Based Anesthesia, Monitored Anesthesia Care, Orthopedics, ENT, Ambulatory Surgery Center, PACU, Informed Consent, Medication Errors, Paralytics, Propofol, Patient Safety
...I have a solid nursing background, a history of diverse surgeries, procedures, and techniques involving different anesthesia modalities, and an exceptional talent for attention to detail. Besides my experience in traditional hospital-based practices, I have had the opportunity these past five years to transition into a solo practitioner without the supervision of an anesthesiologist. Being a solo practitioner has allowed me to work more often in office-based clinics and ambulatory surgery centers, locations with the fastest-growing venue for anesthesia delivery outside the traditional hospital-based operating room and represent the highest-growing number of deaths outside of a hospital. My experience and knowledge working in these surgical suites, with their lack of infrastructure and safety nets inherent in hospitals, would benefit any malpractice anesthesia litigation.
