The Society's more than 900 groups include anesthesiologists who actively training critical care as well as anesthesiologists who practice recovery area or respiratory therapy, acute care management, and cardiovascular and neurosurgical anesthesia. Anesthesiologists deliver preoperative consultation, intraoperative intensive organization, and postoperative care for patients. The Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists is committed to fostering the part of anesthesiologists as perioperative authorities and providing for continuing teaching and interchange of ideas. The Society personifies the practice of critical care medicine in the ASA House of Delegates; provides demonstration, in combination with the ASA and the Society of Critical Care Medicine, on key legislative and promotion issues related to patient care and reimbursement; and functions as a opportunity for specialists with broad-based interests counting respiratory therapy, neurological management, postoperative cardiac surgical and trauma care. In addition, the SCCA delivers educational updates through texts and monographs; announces the "Interchange," a quarterly newsletter that chats historical features of anesthesiology, ethically controversial issues, and surveys of practice patterns; and publishes a Membership Directory. The Society also offers access to and membership in on going continuing medical education and research programs; conducts the ASA Annual Conference; and provides assistance to anesthesiology chairpersons and program directors concerning educational aims and purposes for fellows and populaces. The Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists is the single organization committed to the continuation of the role of anesthesiologists in providing critical care services. You do not have to be intensives to benefit from membership in this organization. Critical care practices are utilized in the intermediate care unit , post anesthesia care unit, , emergency department/trauma centre as well as the intensive care unit. Practitioners with quantifiable caseloads that are dominated by cardiac, neurosurgical, and transplant procedures may be repeatedly involved in the daily perioperative care of critically ill patients. Patients in all of these care parts may require aggressive monitoring and state of the art perioperative care. The continuous enhancement of serious care services throughout the perioperative period is a founding goal of SOCCA.
