Even if you think you're getting maximum benefit and support from your anesthesia group, you won't want to miss what Jay Horowitz, CRNA, has to say in his presentation, "Rebooting Your Anesthesia Services — How to Get Things Done Your Way." Here are just a few of the pearls Mr. Horowitz shared in a recent conversation. • How have responsibilities evolved for anesthesia providers? Back in the day, it didn't much matter how long it took to turn over an OR, or provide peripheral nerve blocks for anesthetics and post-op pain management. Anesthesia providers did- n't even worry much about how long a patient was in the recovery room — possibly nauseated or vom- iting — and uncomfortable. Patients were delivered without any effort on the part of the anesthesia group; all they had to do was give an anesthetic and wake the patient up. Today, giving a safe anesthetic is the bare minimum expected from the anesthesia team, and the bare minimum they should provide.
