Anesthesia Services, PA (ASPA) is a northern Delaware based practice that was incorporated on February 2, 1987. The group is comprised of approximately 34 anesthesiologists and 80 CRNAs.
The educational backgrounds of our physicians cover a highly esteemed curriculum. Residencies include Brigham and Women's Hospital, University of Pennsylvania, Duke, Northwestern, Columbia/Presbyterian, and Yale New Haven. Our physicians are certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology and our CRNAs are certified by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists. Since inception, and until early 2005, the practice had partnered exclusively with Christiana Care Health Services (CCHS), a 1000-bed tertiary care level one regional referral center, which provides an ideal setting for state-of-the-art treatment. CCHS is the home of the only level-one trauma, pediatric and neonatal regional referral center in Delaware, featuring a wide range of specialty services. In 2005 our practice expanded its services to two surgery centers in southern Delaware.
The diverse range of surgeries performed at the center and its ambulatory surgery centers, offers anesthesia providers excellent clinical and practice opportunities, averaging approximately 50,000 cases per year.
The goal of ASPA is to not only maintain, but to continually strive to exceed its present standards of excellence in patient care. The Group believes that working together in a spirit of collegiality, mutual respect and goodwill has contributed to its continued success. Anesthesia care is delivered to the community via an Anesthesia Care Team approach so that all patients are cared for by a highly trained certified registered nurse anesthetist medically directed by an anesthesiologist.
ASPA performs 100% of the anesthetic services at CCHS and its affiliated institutions. This encompasses a broad spectrum of care including anesthesia for Cardiothoracic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Otolaryngology, Orthopedics, Gynecologic Surgery, General Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, Major Vascular Surgery, Ophthalmologic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Trauma Surgery, Podiatric Surgery, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Radiological Procedures, Radiation Therapy Procedures, and Gastroenterologic Procedures. We also provide services for CCHS obstetric patients. Our services are divided among the Christiana Hospital operating room, Electrophysiology Laboratory, Gastroenterology Suite, Radiology Department and Radiation Oncology Suite; Wilmington Hospital operating room; Christiana Surgicenter, Roaxanna Cannon Arsht Surgicenter, and the Glasgow Medical Center Surgicenter. The two surgery centers in southern Delaware are the Delaware Surgery Center and the Lewes Surgery Center.
