Anesthesiology is one of the great medical discoveries of humanity, allowing the advancement of surgery and pain management. While providing pain relief and amnesia to the patients, the anesthesiologist is the clinical pharmacologist and physiologist both inside and outside the operating room. The scope of practice of anesthesiology has broadened to include obstetrical analgesia, acute and chronic pain therapy, cardiac anesthesia, pediatric anesthesia, intensive care, office-based anesthesia and sedation and monitoring of patients undergoing GI, radiologic and ECT procedures.
