Demand Physician-Led Anesthesia Care

Your life could depend on it!

Anesthesiologists are physicians who have advanced training that enables them to make difficult diagnoses, treat patients with complex medical conditions, and handle life-threatening complications that may arise during surgery. Nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) play an important role, but their training and skills are not the same as, and cannot replace, a physician.

Why should you ask for physician-led anesthesia care?

Anesthesiologists Save Lives and Improve Health Outcomes

Anesthesiologists running to emergency

20% reduction in adverse events

50x fewer deaths due to anesthesiologist-led efforts

35% higher anesthesia mortality rate when nurse anesthetists practice alone vs. anesthesiologists.

  • "I never thought of a physician anesthesiologist as being a part of the team that plays such a huge role in a patient's care. Her input saved the quality of my daughter's life."
