Anesthesia Assistant: Absolutely! There are a growing number of programs in the US actively training RRT's to become Anesthesia Assistants. These professional's work together with anesthesiologists to provide a whole host of therapies including administration of medications for conscious sedation. Go to: www.anesthetist.org/faqs
