The role of anesthesiologists is primarily to ensure the complete safety and well-being of patients before, during and after surgery. Various techniques of administering Anesthesia are practiced as per current updation and modernization whether it be General Anesthesia (patient completely unconsciousness, controlling the vital functions of the body to ensure pain relief and relaxation), Regional anesthesia (making a portion of the limb or body numb by administering local anesthetic) or providing sedation where we allay anxiety and keep the patient calm.
We are responsible for the preoperative preparedness and assessment of the patient, to assess existing ailments, addictions, general condition, ability to withstand surgical stress (especially in extreme age and critically ill patients) and make judgments about the safest anesthesia plan which needs to be individualized to each patient. We are also responsible for the well-being of the patient postoperatively while the patient emerges from the effects of anesthesia. They are often involved in the management of acute postoperative pain, as well as chronic and cancer pain.
