Regional and Gender Differences and Trends in the Anesthesiologist Workforce
A national survey of members of the American Society of Anesthesiologists was conducted in 2013. Workforce trends between 2007 and 2013 of a sample of 6,783 individuals were documented by region of the United States and by sex because such trends may have implications for the supply and demand of anesthesiologists. Compared to anesthesiologists in other regions, Western anesthesiologists were more likely to work in larger group-employer settings and receive fee-for-service compensation, were less likely to work with nurse anesthetists, and were less likely to spend time performing or overseeing monitored anesthesia care. Female anesthesiologists received lower levels of compensation, worked fewer hours, were more likely to work for facilities as employees, and allocated time across different types of patients. In many cases these sex differences were related.
Initial Experience of an Anesthesiology-based Service for Perioperative Management of Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators
心脏起搏器和植入式心脏除颤器围手术期管理麻醉医师初始经验
Management of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), including pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators, for surgical procedures is challenging due to the increasing number of patients with CIEDs and limited availability of trained providers. At the authors’ institution, a small group of anesthesiologists were trained to interrogate CIEDs, devise a management plan, and perform preoperative and postoperative programming and device testing whenever necessary.

Methods: Patients undergoing surgery between October 1, 2009 and June 30, 2013 at the University of Washington Medical Center were included in a retrospective chart review to determine the number of devices actively managed by the Electrophysiology/Cardiology Service (EPCS) versus the Anesthesiology Device Service (ADS), changes in workload over time, surgical case delays due to device management, and errors and problems encountered in device programming.
