If My Spine Surgery Went Fine, Why Can't I See?ANESTHESIOLOGIST SUFFERS POVL Also In This Issue: |
In Memoriam:The APSF wishes to express its deepest sympathy at the passing of Dr. Ann S. Lofsky. Dr. Lofsky was a consultant to the APSF Executive Committee and a frequent contributor to this Newsletter on important topics, including hypoperfusion in the beach chair position, maternal cardiac arrest, and complications of cervical epidural blockade. She was a director emeritus of The Doctor's Company and a practicing anesthesiologist in Santa Monica, CA. Dr. Lofsky was board certified in both internal medicine and anesthesiology. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Our condolences are extended to Dr. Lofsky's family, friends, and colleagues at her untimely passing. |
A Statement by the Executive Committee of the APSFFrom time to time, the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation reconfirms its commitment of working with all who devote their energies to making anesthesia as safe as humanly possible. Thus, the Foundation invites collaboration from all who administer anesthesia, all who supply the tools of anesthesia, and all who provide the settings in which anesthesia is practiced, all individuals and all organizations who, through their work, affect the safety of patients receiving anesthesia. All will find us eager to listen to their suggestions and to work with them toward the common goal of safe anesthesia for all patients. |
