Supporting CRNA Clinical Practice: A Review of New and Updated Professional Practice Documents.

Abstract

The American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) Practice Committee, in collaboration with AANA Professional Practice staff, advisory panels, and subject matter experts, annually applies a standardized evidence-based process to review, evaluate, and revise clinical resource documents found in the Professional Practice Manual for the CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) and on the AANA website. This article highlights several revised and newly developed documents, which include topics such as diversity, equity, and inclusion, anesthesia and analgesia for obstetric patients, and safe injection guidelines.
