Circulating Nurse/Anesthesia Assistant

I feel confident that "circulante" means 'circulating nurse'. Here's an example where the function is combined with 'anesthesia assistant':

According to the definition below, assisting the anesthesiologist is part of the duties of the circulating nurse. In your case, however, a decision was made to specify anesthesia, so I think you should include that element in your translation.

Here's an example where the duties are combined. However, I still think my solution would be the best since the text didn't mention 'monitoring'.

Peer comment(s):

agree Stephen D. Moore : Different hospitals use terminology a bit differently. This sounds a bit clumsy in English (no offense intended) but I believe it's accurate.

anesthesiology nurse

The Spanish phrase is self-contradictory. "Circulante" means "circulating nurse". The circulating nurse in an operating room is a generalist. He or she is ordinarily not scrubbed in.

An "enfermera de anestesia" is an "anesthesiology nurse" or "nurse anesthetist". He or she is a highly trained specialist, who performs many of the same functions as a physician anesthetist.

I believe the Spanish phrase is intended to have the second meaning.
Peer comment(s):

agree TravellingTrans : there is a defunct web page that still has cached info in the google search which describes a Circulante de Anestesia as gloving up and verifying the identity of the patient so Nurse Anesthetist or Nurse Anesthesiologist seems to be correct

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos (X) : Hmm... I found numerous descriptions of 'circulating nurse' that say she/he also assists the anesthesiologist. I think you are promoting the person to a higher level.
