Issue Date: May 2024
Work is performed under the direction of the anaesthetist and requires broad knowledge, a range of well developed skills and the ability to develop and apply solutions to a range of predictable and unpredictable problems. Individuals use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs
Clients' dignity and confidentiality is maintained, and reassurance provided throughout the anaesthetic related procedure, where appropriate. Equipment and materials required for the procedures are selected and made accessible and monitored for correct functioning, and changes to client condition are observed for abnormalities
Work may be performed in various locations within the hospital environment e.g. operating theatres, emergency departments, intensive care units, radiology department, endoscopy units, psychiatric units, MRI units and Sterilising departments
All activities are carried out in accordance with Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists Policy Documents, organisation policies, procedures, Occupational Health and Safety and infection control guidelines
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to provide assistance to the anaesthetist in anaesthetic related procedures
