This resolution formally recognizes the week of January 25 to 31, 2026, as Physician Anesthesiologist Week, acknowledging the significant contributions of physician anesthesiologists to modern medicine. It highlights their role in advancing patient care through innovations in surgical anesthesia, pain management, and critical care, including the development of painless surgery, improved airway management, the Apgar Score for newborn assessment, mechanical ventilation for intensive care units, patient safety monitoring like pulse oximetry, regional anesthesia techniques that help combat the opioid crisis, and specialized anesthesia for complex surgeries like cardiothoracic and transplant procedures. The resolution directs the Clerk of the Senate to send a copy of this recognition to Senator Donald Douglas.
