Anesthesiologists Keep Your Constituents Safe
There’s a good reason why 93% of surgeons and nearly 90% of patients want anesthesiologists in the operating room to respond with their lifesaving expertise in critical moments:* As the only medical doctors on the Anesthesia Care Team, anesthesiologists are uniquely qualified to prevent complications and respond to emergencies. They are responsible for the safe provision of anesthesia, and as experts in perioperative care, they also identify, minimize, and prepare for potential risks before surgery and help direct patient recovery and pain management after the procedure.
Anesthesiologists’ education and training are unmatched on the Anesthesia Care Team. That’s why they lead the team and take charge of patient safety. You were elected to represent your constituents and fight for their best interests. Make sure your constituents are protected by keeping anesthesiologists involved in all phases of anesthesia care.
