Help Center / Who is allowed to provide anesthesia?


A physician/surgeon cannot provide anesthesia when performing Level II or Level III procedures. In such cases, anesthesia must be provided by a qualified anesthesia provider. Licensed health care personnel, such as a physician/anesthesiologist, certified registered nurse anesthetist, physician assistant, anesthesiologist assistant under the direct supervision of an anesthesiologist, or registered nurse qualified by training in anesthesiology, may assist the physician/surgeon. See Rules 64B8-9.009(4)(b)4. and 64B8-9.009(6)(b)4., F.A.C., for more information.
