[Group of study SIAARTI of anesthesia and recovery for neurosurgery and neurology. Present and future].
The authors present the results of a survey of anesthesiologists members of the "SIAARTI (Società Italiana di Anestesia, Analgesia, Rianimazione e Terapia Intensiva) Committee for anesthesia and critical care in neurosurgery and neurology". Among the aims of the survey, was to evaluate when the interest in neuroscience of the members of this group started, and the clinical work dedicated to neuroanesthesia and critical care. At present, the group has grown to 143 members. ⋯ Of this, 6% chose a topic in neuroanesthesia and critical care. During the residency, the interest in neuroscience increased to 33%, that is 32 out of 97 responders discussed a thesis in neuroanesthesia and critical care. Forty-eight per cent of the members performs clinical work "exclusively" in neuroanesthesia, while 39% does it "mainly", and only 13% works in neurosurgery "fiftfully".
