Creation of the American Society of Anesthesiologists Committee on Geriatric Anesthesia provided an opportunity for individuals to interact, strategize, and work with medical organizations outside of anesthesiology. These opportunities expanded with creation of the Society for the Advancement of Geriatric Anesthesia. The American Geriatrics Society provided a major boost when they realized it was important for surgical and related specialties to take an active role in the care of older patients. From this have come educational grants to improve residency training and establishment of a major research grant program now managed by the National Institutes of Health. Nevertheless, for improved care of the older patient, the level of involvement has to increase.
美国麻醉医师协会老年麻醉委员会的成立为个人提供了与麻醉学以外的医疗组织进行互动、制定策略和合作的机会。随着老年麻醉促进协会的成立,这些机会得到了扩展。美国老年医学会认识到外科及相关专科在老年患者护理中发挥积极作用的重要性,从而提供了大力支持。由此产生了用于改善住院医师培训的教育补助金,以及目前由美国国立卫生研究院管理的一项重大研究补助金计划。然而,为了更好地护理老年患者,参与程度必须提高。
