There is a poor knowledge about the impact of suicide on anesthesiologists in Colombia and the resources available to deal with this situation are limited.  Objective This survey is intended to indirectly identify the frequency of suicide among the Colombian anesthesiologists and the experiences associated with the suicide of a colleague.  Methods Observational, cross-sectional study based on a survey administered to all the anesthesiologists members of the Colombian Society of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation (S.C.A.R.E.), at a national scale.  Results 403 anesthesiologists completed the survey. Eighty (19.8 %) of the respondents said they were aware of the death of at least one colleague that committed suicide. Most of them are male anesthesiologists or intensivists, and the age group with the highest rate of reports is between 25 - 29 years old in males. The primary causal mechanism was opioid overdose (58.5 %).  Conclusions In an indirect characterization of suicide among Colombian anesthesiologists, 99 suicide reports were identified corresponding to 80 anesthesiologists. Suicide is preventable and the worksite should provide the support mechanisms required to identify occupational stress, drug dependence, depression and suicide.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen  Introducción: El riesgo de suicidio entre anestesiólogos parece ser mayor que el que se presenta en otras especialidades, posiblemente debido al elevado estrés asociado con la especialidad, al fácil acceso a medicamentos potentes y al conocimiento íntimo de cómo usarlos. En Colombia poco se sabe sobre el impacto del suicidio de un colega en un departamento de anestesia y los recursos disponibles para afrontar esta situación.  Objetivo: Con esta encuesta se buscó identificar de manera indirecta la frecuencia de suicidio entre anestesiólogos colombianos y las experiencias relacionadas con el suicidio de un colega.  Métodos: Estudio observacional de corte transversal de tipo encuesta aplicada a todos los anestesiólogos afiliados a la Sociedad Colombiana de Anestesiología y Reanimación (S.C.A.R.E.) a escala nacional.  Resultados:  Se obtuvo respuesta de 403 anestesiólogos. Ochenta (19,8 %) participantes indicaron tener conocimiento de la muerte por suicidio de al menos un colega. La mayoría corresponden a anestesiólogos o intensivistas de sexo masculino, y el grupo etario con mayor número de reportes es el de 25 a 29 años para el sexo masculino. El principal mecanismo causal identificado fue la intoxicación por opioides (58,5 %).  Conclusiones:  En una caracterización indirecta del suicidio en anestesiólogos colombianos se encontraron 99 informes de suicidio reportados por 80 anestesiólogos. El suicidio es prevenible, en los sitios de trabajo deben existir los mecanismos de apoyo para la identificación del estrés laboral, la farmacodependencia, la depresión y el suicidio.]]></p></abstract>
