Description

  Nara Medical University is establishing a perioperative management team based on the recommendation of the Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists. Our team uses an anesthesiologist assistant (AA) system.<br>  There are four clinical engineers in our institution who have completed a training program for AAs. AAs assist anesthesiologists in their anesthetic practice and maintain anesthetic devices.<br>  A special educational program is needed for clinical engineers to become AAs because it is necessary to understand physiology, pharmacology, and anesthesiology. Our education program for AAs currently consists of lectures and daily practice, but it will become more sophisticated in the near future.<br>  AAs' responsibilities are increasing as we introduce new monitoring devices and anesthetic apparatuses in clinical practice, and the number of them should be increased.<br>  AAs and anesthesiologists enjoy a good relationship and AAs' work can contribute to the improvement of anesthetic practices and medical safety.
