In the 2000s, the ASA lobbied to force anesthesiologists to be in the hospital room whenever an anesthesia drug was administered to patients during colonoscopies. At the time, others contended that anesthesia drugs, such as propofol, could be safely administered to patients by non-anesthesiologists, leading to vastly lower health care prices.
Standard for basic anesthetic monitoring is a guideline published by the ASA, which describes that the patient's oxygenation, ventilation, circulation and temperature should be continually evaluated during anesthetic. [38] Continuous electrocardiography (ECG or EKG): Electrodes are
The American Board of Anesthesiology sets standards and exams for the accreditation of Board certified anesthesiologists coming to the end of their residency. It is one of the 24 medical specialty boards that constitutes the American Board of Medical Specialties.
A certified anesthesia technologist (Cer.A.T.T.) is a person who has met the experience and examination requirements for this certification established by ASATT. Requirements to sit for the certified anesthesia technologist (Cer.A.T.T.) examination are [ citation needed ] the successful completion of a 2- or 4-year CAAHEP accredited / CoA-ATE ...
The ASA physical status classification system is a system for assessing the fitness of patients before surgery. In 1963 the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) adopted the five-category physical status classification system; a sixth category was later added.
To determine the depth of anesthesia, the anesthetist relies on a series of physical signs of the patient. In 1847, John Snow (1813–1858) [1] and Francis Plomley [2] attempted to describe various stages of general anesthesia, but Guedel in 1937 described a detailed system which was generally accepted.

ALEX: I had a really hard time forcing myself to go in the room.I wasn’t going to go in. I just wouldn’t do it. My dad said, “If you don’t go in, you will regret it the rest of your life.”
Titrating anesthetic agents to a specific bispectral index during general anesthesia in adults (and children over 1 year old) allows the anesthetist to adjust the amount of anesthetic agent to the needs of the patient, possibly resulting in a more rapid emergence from anesthesia. Use of the BIS monitor could reduce the incidence of ...
