The Alaska Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AKANA) is the state organization representing over 100 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) in Alaska. CRNAs practice in every setting where anesthesia is available and are the primary providers of anesthesia care in rural America including rural Alaska. They administer every type of anesthetic, and provide care for every type of surgery or procedure, from open heart to cataract to pain management.
The annual meeting of the Alaska Association of Nurse Anesthetists is an opportunity for networking and education.
