Specialization

An anesthesia nurse plans and manages the patient's care before, during, and after surgery, both independently and in consultation with other staff groups. This includes responsibility for monitoring and performing local and general anesthesia, analgesia, and sedation in connection with surgeries, examinations, and treatments of patients. The anesthesia nurse should also be able to use their specialist knowledge in major accidents and disasters.

As an anesthesia/narcotic nurse, you make quick decisions, work in teams, and with patients undergoing both emergency and planned surgeries. You are responsible for care, instilling calm and security in the patient, and participating in medical treatment.

For this specialization, Region Östergötland offers a training position at ANOPIVA at the University Hospital in Linköping as well as at ANOPIVA and Day Surgery at Vrinnevisjukhuset in Norrköping.
