Anesthesiology

“Anesthesiology” is a medical specialty focused on the management of pain and the administration of anesthesia during surgical procedures, obstetric deliveries, and other medical interventions. Anesthesiologists are physicians who specialize in providing anesthesia, managing pain, and overseeing the care of patients before, during, and after surgery.

Key aspects of anesthesiology include:

1. Anesthesia Management: Anesthesiologists are responsible for administering various types of anesthesia, including general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and sedation, to ensure patients remain unconscious, pain-free, and stable during surgical procedures.
2. Patient Assessment: Anesthesiologists conduct preoperative assessments to evaluate a patient’s medical history, current health status, and anesthesia risks. This assessment helps determine the most appropriate anesthesia plan for each individual patient.
