Items 1 – 5 are discussed as follows: Non-anesthesiologists can reverse the effects of remimazolam with flumazenil if they overdose a patient, but this advantage is less important for anesthesia professionals.

How much money does an anesthesiologist earn? What is a physician anesthesiologist’s salary in today’s marketplace? I recently received an email from a medical student who was considering anesthesia as a career specialty, but his concern was: is the bottom about to fall out for anesthesiologists’ salaries?

Dawn Bent, DNP, MSN, CRNA , didn’t choose to be a nurse anesthetist as much as the profession chose her. She was working as an ICU nurse for eight years when one of the anesthesiologists that she worked with told her: “I think you would be a great nurse anesthetist.”

The entire OR 1 crew – Tori, CRNA; Kristen, RNFA; Me; Shannon, CST Linda, Kristen, Shannon, Marcia (anesthesiologist), and me Tori was a great CRNA to work with! No other case was as rough as that one, and by the end of the week, we were a well-oiled machine. It was an impressive transformation to observe.

Let’s look at a case study which highlights a specific risk of general anesthesia at a freestanding surgery center or a surgeon’s office operating room, when the anesthesiologist departs soon after the case is finished. The anesthesiologist meets the patient prior to the surgery, reviews the chart, and examines the patient.

Anesthesiologists could chat with the surgeons and/or nurses, make an occasional phone call, and at times read materials they brought with them into the operating room. Every hospital operating room is equipped with a computer connected to the internet.

During the dayshift, working alone is seldom an issue for any anesthesiologist. Within seconds or minutes, any anesthesiologist can be assisted or bailed out by a colleague. Unlike Alex Honnold, the anesthesiologist is not putting their own life at risk—rather it is their patient who is at risk. Working alone may be less safe.

Today I read a thoughtful and well-written essay in Anesthesiology News titled, Anesthesiologists-The Utility Players of the Medical Field written by anesthesiologist David Stinson MD from my native state of Minnesota.

This is what the anesthesia experience is like for most patients: You show up for surgery, and some anesthesia professional you’ve never met or talked to appears 10 minutes before you are to be wheeled into the operating room. The anesthesia professional might be an MD, a CRNA, or both a MD and a CRNA might be involved.

Is it feasible that CHATGPT, this decades artificial intelligence wunderkind, can equal or better a physician anesthesiologist? The surgical team will be assembled, and the child will be transferred to the operating room for further assessment and management. Is CHATGPT as good as an MD? No, not really.

Very few patients die in the operating room, but significant numbers die in the weeks that follow. A board-certified physician anesthesiologist is therefore validated as an expert in all areas of perioperative medicine. Most anesthetics are conducted by physician anesthesiologists.

At the onset of general anesthesia anesthesiologists place an ET tube through the mouth, past the larynx (voice box), and into the trachea (windpipe). Anesthesiologists are vigilant during extubation. The anesthesiologist decided to extubate the trachea at that time. Extubation is risky business. The patient began to cough.

These three words make any anesthesiologist cringe. The topic of anoxic encephalopathy as related to anesthesia disasters and brain death—a issue that can ruin both a patient’s life and an anesthesiologist’s career—is not specifically covered in Miller’s Anesthesia. The anesthesiologist decided to extubate the trachea.
