Dear AAST Member,
Are you curious about Direct Peritoneal Resuscitation (DPR)? So are we!
We invite you to participate in a voluntary national survey on DPR, “Utilization and Variations in Direct Peritoneal Resuscitation Across the United States”. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of DPR and identify variabilities across the US.
Whether you use DPR or not, we want to hear from you! If you take part in this research study, it is voluntary and you may stop at any time without penalty or loss of benefit; all you need to do is complete this short survey about your use of and interest in DPR, which should take about 10 minutes to complete.
Responses will be completely anonymous and kept confidential; your name will not appear anywhere on the survey. Completing and returning the survey confirms your consent to take part. Please complete the survey only once.

Dear Colleagues,
We are writing to invite you to participate in an optional research survey: “The current state of neurocritical care practice and certification amongst surgical intensivists”
Surgical Critical Care (SCC)-trained surgeons care for many patients with neurocritical care (NCC) diagnoses, such as trauma brain injury and neurosurgical postoperative issues. The American Board of Surgery recently began offering NCC certification to SCC diplomates whose practice involves a substantial amount of NCC (practice pathway), and those who have completed a NCC fellowship (legacy pathway). Both legacy and practice pathways will be available until 2026*. The goal of this survey is to define current NCC practice and support surgical intensivists by providing data on the impact of certification and factors associated with successful certification.
Survey details:
The survey takes most users 8-10 minutes to complete. Please click to take the survey; alternatively, copy and paste it into your browser - https://luc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9SkEbdzb8t6NT2S
Please complete the survey only once.
