The American Society of Anesthesiologists is an educational,
research and scientific association of physicians organized to raise and
maintain the standards of the medical practice of anesthesiology and improve the
care of the patient.
Since its founding in 1905, the Society's achievements have
made it an important voice in American Medicine and the foremost advocate for
all patients who require anesthesia or relief from pain.
As physicians,
anesthesiologists are responsible for administering anesthesia to relieve pain
and for managing vital life functions, including breathing, heart rhythm and
blood pressure, during surgery. After surgery, they maintain the patient in a
comfortable state during the recovery, and are involved in the provision of
critical care medicine in the intensive care unit. |
