Trends in US Cardiac Anesthesiologist Income, Work Patterns, and Compensation Satisfaction From 2020 to 2024: A Longitudinal Analysis of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists Salary Survey
In contrast to the 2010-2020 period, cardiac anesthesiologist inflation-adjusted income and work patterns stabilized; however, compensation satisfaction declined. In exploratory analyses, higher supervision intensities, greater call burden, and lower amounts of paid time off are each modestly and independently associated with reduced compensation satisfaction. Addressing these high-intensity work patterns may improve cardiac anesthesiologist retention and compensation satisfaction.
