چکیده
Background For more than a decade, both the United States (US) and the Netherlands have been struggling to control health care costs. The demand for nurse anesthetists, or in the US, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA), has increased in both countries due to the increased substitution of nurse anesthetists for anesthesiologists in surgery, with the goal of reducing health care costs.

These laws changed in 2006; moving the Netherlands’ system closer to the US system.
