| The
American Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists (ASCCA) was
founded in 1986 to address the unique concerns of intensivists before
the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). The founding members
of ASCCA believed and continue to believe that multidisciplinary
critical care medicine is a desirable goal.
ASCCA’s mission is dedicated to the education of anesthesiologists
in the care of critically ill patients and to foster the knowledge
and practice of critical care medicine by anesthesiologists. This
will be accomplished through education, advocacy and community.
The ASCCA provides for the specialized needs of intensivists as
well as the broader needs of practicing anesthesiologists. ASCCA
members include anesthesiologists who actively practice critical
care, and a significant number of anesthesiologists who practice
post anesthesia care unit management or acute care management, respiratory
therapy, cardiovascular, neurosurgical, and transplant anesthesia.
The ASCCA also offers a research award, co-sponsored by Hospira. Details can be found under the Research page.
The organization is an affiliate of the American Society of Anesthesiologists
(ASA).
Anesthesia & Analgesia is the Official Journal of ASCCA
All members of the ASA, as well as residents and fellows in training
are encouraged to join.
