Seeing a CRNA doing a heart....solo.

Without any attending anesthesiologist? The CRNA did all the lines? PA cath? Placed TEE and interpreted it? How'd the case go?

I’ve worked at many places and none of the surgeons would ever allow this.
Once, there was a visiting group from another hospital who were starting a heart program. So they came into one of the ORs to observe and asked if CRNAs could be used for heart cases. Without missing a beat or even looking up the surgeon says “not as long as I’m working here”.
No further discussion on that topic was had.
