Anesthesia technicians play a crucial role in assisting the anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetist with the preparation of equipment and supplies needed to deliver anesthesia to patients. Successful anesthesia technicians gain proficiency in a number of anesthesia delivery systems, devices and monitors, in addition to providing first-rate patient care.

Anesthesia tech classes need to provide prospective candidates with the skills and knowledge to maintain equipment, assist in the operating room, maintain and troubleshoot the anesthesiologist’s tools, keep track of inventory and even purchase supplies and equipment when necessary.

A complete schedule of anesthesia technology courses should include:

• Medical Terminology
  
• Human Anatomy and Physiology
  
• Pathophysiology
  
• Pharmacology
  
• Introduction to Anesthesia
  
• Infection Control/Bacteriology
  
• Anesthesia Terminology
  
• Types of Anesthesia
  
• Clinical Education Internship
  
• Anesthesia Monitors
  
• Anesthesia Gas Machines
  
• Pediatric Anesthesia
  
• Anesthesia Monitors
  
• Assisting in an Emergency
  
• Cardiac Monitoring
  

In addition to taking anesthesia tech courses, students will also be expected to take general education requirements covering subjects like English composition, psychology, computer concepts and math and metrics.
