Perform complete pre-anesthetic assessments by reviewing laboratory data, patient history, and physical exams while establishing rapport and anticipating potential problems. Prepare for case management by assembling essential equipment, maintaining universal safety precautions, and labeling syringes. Manage anesthetic plans systematically based on assessments and anticipated procedures, ensuring appropriate airway management and clear communication with the Attending. Provide competent post-anesthetic management by verifying patient identity, maintaining the airway, evaluating pain status, completing records, and properly disposing of medications and equipment.
