Can an anesthesiologist answer this question please? Besides the obvious difference that one is a physician and one is an advanced practicing nurse, what is the best explanation to this question which I have been asked numerous times and the only explanation I have to give is one of experience i.e residency prepares you for more situations. Aside from this, what are things that anesthesiologists do that CRNAs don’t? Are there certain cases or responsibilities that are only handled by anesthesiologists or does it really just boil down to liability?
It’s easy to look this up online to get a cliche answer, but I don’t think that paints the whole picture. Hearing from an anesthesiologist who works along side CRNAs on a daily basis is much more valuable.
