Scope of Practice & Liability

Advanced Specialty Anesthesia was founded by and employs a team of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). Per the Registered Nurse Anesthetist statute, established in 1996, CRNAs can function and practice independently as a member of a physician or dentist directed health care team.

The physician or dentist is not responsible for supervision of the CRNA, nor do they have vicarious liability for any negligence of the CRNA. Both the physician and CRNA, as Kansas health care providers, are qualified for coverage under the Kansas Health Care Stabilization Fund and thus cannot be held vicariously liable for the actions of either party.
