Welcome to the Maryland Association of Nurse Anesthetists (MANA)

-
Our Patients. Our Profession. Our Practice. 
-
The mission of MANA is to advance and elevate the standards of practice of anesthesia; to elevate the standing of nurse anesthetists; to generally increase the quality and availability of anesthesia services to the public; and to provide ethical guidance for members of the Association practicing anesthesia in Maryland.
-
For more than 150 years, nurse anesthetists have been providing anesthesia care to patients in the United States. The CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) credential came into existence in 1956. CRNAs are anesthesia professionals who safely administer approximately 43 million anesthetics to patients each year in the United States 

Invest in MANA PAC 

It is vital that we maintain support for the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) profession throughout the year as issues can arise at any time that will impact the practice. The MANA Political Action Committee (PAC) funds are used to support candidates and improve educational opportunities for our students and CRNA's.

For Patients

Before having anesthesia for surgery, childbirth, pain management, or any other procedure, MANA and the AANA advise patients to learn as much as they can about their anesthesia options; before and after anesthesia; how other medications interact with anesthetic drugs; the possible side effects of anesthesia, and much more.
