About this study
20 years ago, for the first time in Spain, a record was made of all the activity carried out by a medical speciality, called ANESCAT 2003. After 20 years, the increase in healthcare activity has exceeded the expectations and predictions that were made at the time. Therefore, it is necessary to make a new assessment of the work situation in which our speciality finds itself in order to be able to evaluate whether the increase in resources allocated has been proportional and therefore to be able to have objective data with a view to making new demands and planning future needs.
