NAGELHOUT ANAESTHESIA
CHAPTER 1
This outlines the historical development of nurse anaesthesia in the United States, beginning with nurses as the first professional anaesthetists and the early, often unregulated, use of agents like ether. It describes how certified registered nurse anaesthetists (CRNAs) became crucial due to physician disinterest and poor anaesthesia administration, highlighting pivotal figures like Alice Magaw and Agatha Hodgins who significantly advanced patient safety and educational standards. The narrative details the challenges faced by CRNAs, including opposition from physician anaesthetists and legal battles, leading to the formation of national organisations and the eventual achievement of direct Medicare reimbursement. Finally, it touches on the ongoing evolution of the profession, including the shift to doctoral preparation, efforts towards diversity, and CRNAs' continued contributions to military healthcare and international standards.
