WHAT IS ANESTHESIOLOGY?
Anesthesiology is a medical specialty that is practiced by physicians who specialize in anesthesia, pain management, and critical care medicine. Physician anesthesiologists provide or guide nearly 90 percent of the anesthetics used in the more than 100 million procedures performed every year in India.

They play a vital role in a patient’s medical care, making decisions to protect and regulate critical life functions throughout the entire surgical experience. Specializing in perioperative care, development of an anesthetic plan, and the administration of anesthetics, physician anesthesiologists are there every step of the way.

They also have extensive education and training to evaluate, diagnose, treat and manage the entire spectrum of patients’ medical conditions, while treating potentially life-threatening complications that can happen suddenly during surgery.
