Oklahoma City Community College offers the first and only anesthesia technology program in Oklahoma. As an integral member of the anesthesia care team, certified anesthesia technologists focus on fundamental and advanced clinical procedures that assist licensed anesthesia providers in the safe and efficient care of patients receiving anesthesia. Anesthesia technologists are trained to anticipate the needs of the patient and the provider, as determined by the surgical requirements, procedure or circumstance. Upon successful completion of the associate degree in anesthesia technology, the graduate will be eligible to sit for the American Society of Anesthesia Technologists and Technicians (ASATT) national certification examination. Certified anesthesia technologists may work in a variety of clinical settings including hospital operating rooms, interventional and diagnostic radiology, labor and delivery suites, intensive care units, emergency rooms, outpatient procedure suites, and ambulatory surgery centers.
