A physician/surgeon must be assisted by a qualified anesthesia provider, or a registered nurse may assist with the anesthesia if the physician/surgeon is ACLS certified. An assisting anesthesia provider cannot function in any other capacity during the procedure. If additional assistance is required due to the specific procedure or patient circumstances, it must be provided by a physician, osteopathic physician, registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, or operating room technician. See Rule 64B8-9.009(4), F.A.C., for more information.
