ASA Calls for Participation in Drug Shortage Survey

The American Society of Anesthesiologists is asking members to take its second annual nationwide survey on anesthesia drug shortages. Survey responses will enable the ASA to work with legislators and regulators to develop policies that help to avert drug shortages and effectively handle shortages if they do occur.

According to the ASA, last year’s survey data was a crucial tool in demonstrating the urgency of addressing drug shortages. A high member participation rate is needed in this year’s survey to ensure continued effectiveness in communicating with policymakers.
