WHO WE ARE

Ontario’s Anesthesiologists is a section of the Ontario Medical Association. We
represent over 1,700 anesthesiologists, including more than 1,500 primary
members and over 200 secondary members.

Anesthesiologists are the medical doctors who are responsible for your
well-being before, during, and after surgery. We See You Through Your Most
Critical Times

Ontario’s 1,300+ practicing anesthesiologists:

 * Provide local, regional and general anesthesia in the Operating Room;

 * Administer epidural analgesia to mothers in labour;

 * Assist with resuscitation in the Emergency Department, and

 * Treat critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit.

We provide sedation for painful procedures throughout the hospital. We treat
both acute and chronic pain conditions, and are responsible for pre-operative
assessment and the immediate post-operative care of patients undergoing surgery.
We are often involved in running operating rooms, and are involved in hospital
administration.


IMPROVING HEALTHCARE IN ONTARIO

Because we participate in so many aspect of caring for Ontario's patients, we
are uniquely positioned to identify opportunities for efficiencies. We also have
a strong history of working with the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care to
improve fiscal prudence, while ensuring we maintain the highest standards of
care, and access to care, for all Ontarians. For more information on how
Ontario's Anesthesiologists have helped reduce costs and improve access to care,
as well as our position on the ongoing issue of the province's healthcare budget
cuts, please see: Improving Healthcare in Ontario.

VISIT THE PERIOPERATIVE PAIN MANAGEMENT PATHWAY

 

 

Ontario’s Anesthesiologists is proud to announce the launch of the Perioperative
Pain Management Pathway. Located at SolvingPain.ca, the Pathway is an
easy-to-access collection of surgical pain management best practices for over 50
procedures. It aims to empower physicians to provide the best possible pain
management for their surgical patients using evidence-based practices that also
limit the potential for opioid misuse. The Pathway and SolvingPain.ca are part
of our Beyond the Mask initiative and would not have been possible without the
hard work of our volunteer Action Group.

 
 

After you visit SolvingPain.ca, please take a moment to share this important
resource with your surgical colleagues. We’ve created a few resources to make
this a little easier.
