[Historic evolution of scientific production at the Spanish Society of Anesthesiology and Reanimation through the Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación (1956-1987)].

The historical evolution (1956-1987) of the Spanish scientific production in anesthesiology and reanimation has been evaluated through the articles published in the Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación. The yearly overall output had an exponential increase, with a duplication rate for the number of articles and pages of every 15 and 16 years, respectively, while the number of coauthors duplicated every 7 years. As a consequence, the coauthors/article ratio duplicated every 14 years, while the rates of articles and pages per author was reduced to one half every 14 and 16 years, respectively. It has been found that the absolute and relative productivity rates were distributed in such a way that the number of authors with a given productivity was inversely proportional to the square of productivity. The mean number of references was kept fairly constant through time, being as a mean 23.2 references per article. The references of articles written in English (77%) and Spanish (12%) predominated over other languages (11%), with a tendency to an increase of English at the expense of all other languages with time.

Anesthesiology↗

[Current situation of anesthesiology and resuscitation in Spain. National Survey (II): surgical units].

We have studied the data from the surgical blocks of 170 hospitals. Hospitals have been classified in three groups according their size (less than 500 beds, from 500 to 1,000 beds and greater than 1,000 beds). A second criterium of classification was the distinction between public and private hospitals. The geographical distribution of the hospitals was our third criterium of classification. We report the results concerning the anaesthetic techniques applied, the availability of the human resources, the physical space and installations, the instrumental equipment, some of the surgical specialties developed in the hospitals, and the characteristics of their recovery rooms.

Anesthesia↗

[The current situation of anesthesiology and recovery in Spain. A national survey (IV): Extrasurgical activity].

It is showed the results of an inquest carried out at 170 departments of anesthesia about their extrasurgery activities. Training programs, systematic and available preoperative assessment, controls at the delivery, pediatric anesthesia, neonatal resuscitation, pain treatment units, recovery units and hospitalization wards, emergency service, transportation of critical patients and available human resources are analysed.

[The current situation of Anesthesiology-Resuscitation in Spain. A national survey (III): Resuscitation].

The results of a national inquest concerning clinical care to critically ill patients by anaesthesiology staff are presented. Data were collected from the 170 questionnaires received, corresponding to an equal number of Anaesthesia departments. It should be remembered that, for the present time in Spain, the responsibility of administering intensive therapy is being shared among two different groups of certified medical specialists, each of them receiving separate training. Intensive Medicine specialists and anaesthesiologists. The units are respectively designed as Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos and Unidades de Reanimación. Room availability, human resources, and technical equipment, as well as the final clinical utilisation of these units, are presented.
