Introduction of evolving roles of Japanese perianesthesia nurses

Comparison of anaesthesia‐related outcomes in patients monitored by newly recruited nurse anaesthetists and anaesthesiologists: An observational study

“…Practical experience in several countries suggests wide variability for nurse anaesthetists being allowed to perform anaesthesia practices; however, nurse anaesthetists play a major role in reducing the burden on anaesthesiologists in operating rooms. (Ide et al, 2020;Iwata, 2009 Studies have shown that expanding nurse anaesthetists' professional category to include the operating room is safe; however, this comparison is limited to nurse anaesthetists. (Dony et al, 2019;Ide et al, 2020;Yin et al, 2021) No studies on anaesthesia-related outcomes have compared nurse anaesthetists anaesthesiologist and did reduce the burden of anaesthesiologists' work.…”

The results of the current study contribute to the expansion of occupational categories for nurse anaesthetists in countries where anaesthesiologists are in short supply.…”

“…Practical experience in several countries suggests wide variability for nurse anaesthetists being allowed to perform anaesthesia practices; however, nurse anaesthetists play a major role in reducing the burden on anaesthesiologists in operating rooms. (Ide et al., 2020; Iwata, 2009; Yin et al., 2021) In 2017, newly recruited nurse anaesthetists in the department of anaesthesiology of our hospital received the same standardised training as newly recruited anaesthesiologists. The training consists of theoretical learning and in‐theatre follow‐up, and the length of training varies from person to person until passing the examination.…”

(Dony et al., 2019; Ide et al., 2020; Yin et al., 2021) No studies on anaesthesia‐related outcomes have compared nurse anaesthetists with anaesthesiologists. Because anaesthesiologists’ careers developed rapidly and were not limited by professional authority, 6 months after the start of monitoring vital signs by newly recruited nurse anaesthetists and newly recruited anaesthesiologists were selected as the study interval.…”

Value co-creation in the health-care ecosystem for sustained excellence: realization of patient-centered medicine through task shifting of nurses

“…*English translation by the authors from the website of the MHLV https://www.mhlw.go.jp/content/10800000/000458954.pdf medical interventions means the scope of work is only a small part of intraoperative anesthesia management, and the proposed task shifting does not appear to be innovative enough to achieve improved safety and quality of anesthesia care.The Master of Science in Nursing degree that focuses on perianesthesia nursing(Ide et al, 2020) is a novel postgraduate nursing program focused on anesthesia that was established at St. Luke's International University in 2010. Its intended purpose is the training of the Japanese version of the CRNA, named perianesthesia nurses…”
