NOTICE TO USERS: ASSISTANT (E) S Anesthesia (IADE) IN STRIKE

Role of the Nurse Anesthetist?
The Graduate Nurse Anesthetist State (IADE) is a close associate of Physician an
esthesiologist in the practice of anesthesia and in the broader organization of
this activity. The Nurse Anesthetist has an exclusive function. He takes care of
the concurrent actions of anesthesia (infusion, endotracheal intubation, mechan
ical ventilation, etc. ...).
Its primary role for patient safety
also includes checking, preparation and maintenance of anesthesia equipment. The
Nurse Anesthetist provides independently monitoring and maintenance of anesthes
ia, awakening, and some cutting tasks such as hygiene anesthesia, equipment moni
toring, pharmacovigilance and blood monitoring. The anesthesia team is often com
pared to the crew of a plane with a pilot and a co-pilot. During a flight, the r
isks are high takeoff and landing, it is the same for the anesthesia, the risks
are high in falling asleep and waking. Physician Anesthesiologist is, anyway, th
e captain but he is assisted by a Nurse Anesthetist who has verified all the mat
erial, prepared all medications and emergency anesthesia before surgery. This en
sures Nurse Anesthetist, often alone, surveillance during the operation along wi
th the awakening (landing) for your security, he sent a care Physician Anesthesi
ologist while maintaining their skills through appropriate actions in emergency
. This is the daily anesthesia teams in France. The vast majority of oversight o
f anesthesia in France is conducted by nurses anesthetists whose profession is t
otally unknown to the general public and apparently not considered at fair value
through the Ministry of Health.
Why strike?
The MoU, signed February 2, 2010, by a small minority union in the public hospit
al, admitted to State Certified Nurses (FDI) the level of study "license" and pr
ovided in return , an upgrading.
The Nurse Anesthetists (IADE), who extended their studies by 24 months of nursin
g specialization (BAC +5) with an entrance to the school competition and conditi
ons (two years of nursing practice), wish to see evolve their recognition office
and pay the Master 2. The Nurse Anesthetists demanding recognition for their hi
gh level of education, responsibilities, skills and the difficulty of their prof
essional practice, which includes keeping them in Class A active. However, Rosel
yne Bachelot, supported by some members want to find to spend the entire chain s
edentary category A nurse explaining that there are no Class A active while we I
ADE, are already there! Roselyne Bachelot, we consider t'elle schedules and offi
ce work? While we chain guards or standby duty at all hours, 7 days on 7 and all
year round. The Government proposes to recognize timidly Nurse (s) level "Licen
se" (Bac +3) and IADE level "Master (Bac +5), the better! Together, the Ministry
has proposed a reassessment of their wages in an overhaul of the grids to the d
etriment of Nurse Anesthetists who have the training time and the longer the onl
y ones with an exclusive function.
The IADE (5 years) are in this new protocol was the smallest increase of the who
le sector nurse. We feel impaired by the Ministry with regard to our responsibil
ities and our know-how.

ty to inform the population. If you want to have more information here is the ad
