Vision Research THE FUTURE OF ANESTHESIOLOGY
“A discipline not continually engaged in an active and imaginative program of research is dead, and will not advance, and will probably deteriorate in general standards and efficiency.” “We get new ideas only by having a strong research community, aware of the problems.” Thirty Years Ago Kitz & Biebuyck Stated:
* WT Salter (1950), in Anesthesia, Chapter 1 by Vandam. “Without Vision And Research, The Professions Die” *
“By 2030 all surgical anesthesia will be administered and monitored by computers, with no need for professional medical supervision beyond the surgeon.” MAYBE OUR FUTURE IS PREDETERMINED?

Basic Clinical HOW ABOUT RESEARCH?
In both Anesthesiology and Anesthesia & Analgesia, only about 20% of innovation comes from the U.S.A. Why? Priorities? CLINICAL RESEARCH
Not publishing in Anesthesia journals Several Departments successful Several leaders in basic science area ASA was successful in 2003 BASIC RESEARCH

Raise financial support to fund research grants Build endowment Partner across the entire anesthesiology community Mentor new investigators FUNCTIONS
New Education Grants New non-clinical time grants New mentor grants Academy of Mentors NEW GRANTS
Increase in funding from 1.4 M to 1.8M 2.5M in 2004 41% funding rate GRANT SUMMARY (2003)
Increase number of anesthesia Departments involved in research Especially when institutional commitment is present Mentoring program for new Chairs with onsite consultation, especially for research, could be cooperative with SAAC & AUA Identify program centers of research for training grants AAPD/SAAC must examine the future of our specialty and initiate new paradigms for anesthesia AUGUST 2003 RETREAT(Personal Funding)
We need long range planning We need to update or even redefine the intellectual foundation of anesthesia CONCLUSION
