Autonomous Practice by a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist

Summary

HB 375 sought to change Florida law so that certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) could perform a full range of anesthesia duties without direct medical supervision if they followed an approved protocol, or if they were classified as autonomous advanced practice nurses. The changes would affect CRNAs, other advanced practice nurses, hospitals, and the physicians who normally oversee anesthesia. The measure did not pass and is no longer moving forward.
