A Day in the Life of a CAA 🏥💉 While most days start with machine checks and patient interviews, no two shifts are exactly the same. This is the general flow, but my days are not always predictable. Some days, I’m assigned to the trauma room or to emergency add-on cases, which means staying ready for anything at a moment’s notice. If there aren’t any add-on surgeries, I’m usually heading around to support the team, providing breaks for my CAA, CRNA, and Anesthesiologist coworkers. ☕️ Depending on the complexity of the case, I don’t always head to the PACU. For our more critical patients, sometimes I’ll head straight to the ICU to hand off care and give a detailed report to the ICU nursing team. Working as a CAA can be fast-paced, high-stakes, and constantly changing; I truly couldn’t be happier with my career choice. 🩺✨ . . . . #anesthesiologistassistant #anesthesia #premed #physicianassistant #caa
