What’s a safe ratio? Should CRNA be banned?

4:1 ratios are defined for medical direction practice models. This model is not the same as independent practice or medical supervision.

4 CRNAs : 1 anesthesiologist. It’s a ratio set by law at the state legislative level

So they had compliant ratio and still messed up someone’s life. Is it possible to request a hospital does not use any CRNAs?
