ANESTHESIA AWARENESS
The topic of anesthesia awareness is a concern for both patients having surgery and anesthesia professionals. The New York State Association of Nurse Anesthetists supports measures to assist in alleviating these concerns. A link to the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists website www.aana.com/awareness.aspx will address any inquiries regarding awareness.
