AbstractFor two years now, anaesthesia technical assistance has been a state-recognized profession in Germany and entitles graduates to work in all fields of anaesthesiology, with the exception of the intensive care unit. The job profile is comparable to the nurse anesthetist in Great Britain (Operation Department Practitioner) or in the Netherlands (Anesthesiemedewerker). In an initial empirical research project in 2023, the professional field was described and the question of whether graduates are adequately prepared for the fields of anaesthesiology was discussed with the focus particularly on the recovery room. The normative requirements of the theoretical and practical training prepare the trainees well for all fields of the profession. However, the study showed that training should be improved by including practical work in the intensive care unit during schooling. The existing training and examination regulations currently only offer a small amount of scope for an assignment in the intensive care unit. Therefore, the training and in particular the practical assignments should be evaluated and modified in the future.Thieme. All rights reserved.
