Role of Anesthesiologists

According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the role of the anesthesiologist in the operating room is to:

1. provide continual medical assessment of the patient;
2. monitor and control the patient's vital life functions—heart rate and rhythm, breathing, blood pressure, body temperature and body fluid balance; and
3. control the patient’s pain and level of unconsciousness to make conditions ideal for a safe and successful surgery.
