About this study

This survey aims to understand anesthesiologists' opinions on intraoperative/intraprocedural code status management (like for example, Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)) in various patient scenarios. Your valuable input will help us better understand current practices and preferences in the field.

The understanding of the perspectives of ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) member staff anesthesiologists and staff anesthesiologists in general on this matter is of critical importance in the field of anesthesiology as the intraoperative/intraprocedural patient population continues to collectively get older and sicker in the future.

Goal/Aims: The goal of this survey is to ascertain the perspectives of all active ASA member staff anesthesiologists and staff anesthesiologists in general on the matters of intraoperative/intraprocedural code status and intraoperative/intraprocedural code status management plans

Title: Anesthesiologist Perspectives on Intraoperative/Intraprocedural Code Status and Intraoperative/Intraprocedural Code Status Management Plans Introduction: This survey aims to understand anesthesiologists' opinions on intraoperative/intraprocedural code status management in various patient scenarios. Your valuable input will help us better understand current practices and preferences in the field.

Goal/Aims: The goal of this survey is to ascertain the perspectives of all active ASA members on the matters of intraoperative/intraprocedural code status and intraoperative/intraprocedural code status management plans.

Sample Size/Scope: All Active ASA member staff anesthesiologists and staff anesthesiologists in general in the United States of America

Face/Construct Validity:

Are the components of the measure (e.g., questions) relevant to what's being measured? Yes, the questions and structure of the questions are relevant for the intended purpose of ascertaining the respondent's perspectives on intraoperative/intraprocedural code status and intraoperative/intraprocedural code status management plans.

Does the measurement method seem useful for measuring the variable? Yes, the questions and structure of the questions are useful for the intended purpose of ascertaining the respondent's perspectives on intraoperative/intraprocedural code status and intraoperative/intraprocedural code status management plans.

Is the measure seemingly appropriate for capturing the variable? Yes, the questions and structure of the questions are appropriate for capturing the intended purpose of ascertaining the respondent's perspectives on intraoperative/intraprocedural code status and intraoperative/intraprocedural code status management plans.

All questions and question structures are consistent and thematically similar to previous studies/research cited.
