The term used to refer to the collective group of drugs that induce anesthesia, as well as the medical field dedicated to their administration, is known as anesthesiology.
An anaesthetist is a specialized medical professional who is trained in administering anaesthetics. Prior to a patient undergoing a surgical procedure, the anaesthetist evaluates the patient’s cardiac, pulmonary, and circulatory condition. They make decisions regarding the appropriate type and dosage of drugs required to induce and maintain anesthesia, determine the patient’s positioning on the operating table, closely monitor for any complications that may arise, and take necessary actions in case of emergencies. Additionally, the anaesthetist is responsible for closely monitoring the patient’s recovery process and promptly addressing any post-anesthetic complications that may occur.
A compound that leads to localized or widespread loss of sensation.
