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. These devices enable an anesthesiologist to remain connected to the outside world during surgery.

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.

The anesthesia professional might be an MD, a CRNA, or both a MD and a CRNA might be involved. Anesthesiologists in our practice telephone their patients the night before to discuss the anesthesia care. Are the majority of anesthetists MDs or CRNAs, or is the staff a mix of both? It doesn’t have to be this way.

A board-certified physician anesthesiologist is therefore validated as an expert in all areas of perioperative medicine. Most anesthetics are conducted by physician anesthesiologists. In this model, an MD anesthesiologist supervises up to four CRNAs who work in up to four different operating rooms simultaneously.

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.

20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) are usually the last person a patient sees before a surgical procedure begins, and the first person they awake to when it ends. As the hands-on providers of anesthesia, CRNAs are with their patients throughout the entire medical procedure. HARRISBURG, Pa.,

He was an anesthesiologist in California, but now he’s one of us, the slightly-better-than-average staff of Hibbing General. Why the ingratiating attitude toward me, a board-certified anesthesiologist physician? We have a full staff, like any other community hospital, but we’re light on anesthesiologists. I was miffed.
