Beyond The Mask: Innovation & Opportunities For CRNAs

Optimization ≠ Clearance: Setting the Record Straight in Anesthesia


Listen Later

This week, Lynn and Garry sit down with guest Dru Riddle to tackle one of the most misunderstood and increasingly problematic concepts in perioperative care: the idea that patients can be “cleared” for anesthesia by non-anesthesia providers. While well-intentioned, this language blurs professional boundaries and creates real risks for patients and anesthesia teams alike.

The goals for this show are to help you be able to:

  1. Differentiate between preoperative medical optimization and anesthesia clearance.
  2. Explain why anesthesia providers are uniquely qualified to determine anesthesia-related risk.
  3. Describe the appropriate role of non-anesthesia consultants in the perioperative period.
  4. Apply modern risk assessment tools, such as the DASI scale, to evaluate perioperative anesthesia risk.
