HB 602 Podiatric surgery; changes in provisions.

Introduced by: Allen W. Dudley | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Podiatric surgery. Modifies the statute that requires podiatrists to perform surgery under general anesthesia in a hospital or ambulatory surgery center to provide that podiatrists may provide medical direction and supervision for the practice of certified registered nurse anesthetists when performing such surgery in hospitals or ambulatory surgery centers. Currently, the Board of Nursing's regulation, 18VAC90-30-120 C, authorizes nurse anesthetists to practice only under the medical direction and supervision of doctors of medicine, osteopathy and dentistry. Thus, enactment clauses direct the Board of Nursing to revise its regulations to authorize the nurse anesthetists to so practice with podiatrists and to promulgate emergency regulations.
