Anesthesiologist

cut open, but don’t worry, it won’t hurt. Anesthesiologists are doctors specialized in perioperative care, development of an anesthetic plan, and the administration of anesthetics. They are in charge of making sure that the patients are safe and feel comfortable before, during, and after surgery. The career consists of many years of study, but at the end it gives you the reward of doing what you love and a very satisfying salary. Although anesthesiologists can work for very long hours and become…

after intubation. Aside from having an arterial line set up in the room, I would often have the ultrasound machine in the room in case the anesthesiologist needed assistance in the place of the arterial line. I frequently insisted that the anesthesiologist put an A-line whenever I was in a room with an orthopedic spine surgeon even when the anesthesiologist felt that one wasn’t necessary because they always requested for one to be placed. They often listened to my insistence to prevent any…

busy. I was assigned to be with a nurse for the day and observe how she takes care of patients after surgery is completed. The first patient came in with the surgeon and the anesthesiologist at the head of the bed. The anesthesiologist gave report to the nurse and filled out a couple of documents. While the anesthesiologist was giving report, the nurse quickly put…

different anesthesia settings. Five delivery models consisting of anesthesiologist only, CRNA only, and three different collaborative team models were reviewed. No statistical difference in anesthesia induced complications between the different anesthesia delivery models or scope of practice scenarios was shown. The risk of development of anesthesia related complications in the CRNA only delivery model remained as low as the anesthesiologist only model. Anesthesia delivery in “no supervision”…

During one evening I observed an Obstetrics physician and nurse advocating for a patient to receive a local anesthesia instead general, because the antepartum patient 24 weeks 4 days, gravid 1 para 0, in preterm labor. Prior to advocating to the anesthesiologist the nurse had administered magnesium, steroid injections, and IV fluids of Lactated Ringers all to prevent preterm labor or if patient would continue in labor. Long story short patient’s cervix was open and fetus transverse as shown…

old standard rule of “NPO after midnight,” is unnecessary and the new evidence-based research suggested allowing patients to drink clear liquids until two hours before their surgery; this is the new guidelines suggested by anesthesiologists. Again, we always have anesthesiologists and surgeons set in their old ways and recommending the old rule of thumb, such as keeping the patient…

cared for him like a family member, giving constant emotional support making frequent visits to learn if his pain was controlled. The anesthesiologists all treated their patients as if they were family and I was reminded again of the importance placed on human values and truly caring for patients of the doctor-patient relationships between patients and Anesthesiologists was truly special to…
