Welcome!
Welcome to the home page for the Oklahoma
Association of Nurse Anesthetists. We are over 512 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs)
working in Oklahoma serving both urban and rural health care.
CRNAs provide anesthesia in
collaboration with surgeons, anesthesiologists, dentists, podiatrists, and other
qualified healthcare professionals. CRNAs are anesthesia professionals who
safely administer approximately 32 million anesthetics to patients each
year in the United States.
CRNAs practice in every setting in which anesthesia is delivered: traditional
hospital surgical suites and obstetrical delivery rooms; critical access
hospitals; ambulatory surgical centers; the offices of dentists, podiatrists,
ophthalmologists, plastic surgeons, and pain management specialists; and U.S.
military, Public Health Services, and Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare
facilities.
The cost-efficiency of CRNAs helps control escalating healthcare costs.
CRNAs are the primary
anesthesia providers in rural America, enabling healthcare facilities in these
medically underserved areas to offer obstetrical, surgical, and trauma
stabilization services. In some states, CRNAs are the sole providers in
nearly 100% of the rural hospitals.
