Terminology
 Anesthesiology
- A department which deals with anesthesia for
diverse purposes particularly to perform an
operation
Anesthesiologist
- A doctor who specializes in giving anesthetics to
the patients.
- Majorities of the operations cannot be performs
without anesthesiologists.
Process

Formal training
Completion of residency at the fourth year
Postgraduate courses (specialize)
Four years of college
Four years of medical school
Four years of residency
After graduation:
Generally, there are only few anesthesiologist; so, it is
easier to have a job compared to other doctors.

anesthesia to the patient in order to perform an
operation.
An anesthesiologist does not work in an emergency
room.
Without the anesthesiologists, it is barely impossible
to have an operation.
They must judge an appropriate anesthesia to be
applied to the patients based on their condition
No other doctor can take the role of anesthesiologist.
 They must attend the operation to check the
condition of the patient whether he had proper
anesthesia.
 Always check the blood pressure and respiration
before and after the injection of any anesthesia.

Anesthesiologist’s Life
 Their assigned works vary upon the number of
patients. Thus, their income also varies on the
number of operations/schedules that they are in
charge of.
 The average income of an anesthesiologists reach
50000000 won.

 General anesthesia (GA) is the state produced when a
patient receives medications for amnesia, analgesia,
muscle paralysis, and sedation. An anesthetized patient
can be thought of as being in a controlled, reversible state
of unconsciousness.
 A certain type of anesthesia applied to a patient depends
on the prescription from the head department.
Advantages
 Reduces intraoperative patient awareness and recall[2]
 Allows proper muscle relaxation for prolonged periods of

time
Facilitates complete control of the airway, breathing, and
circulation
Can be used in cases of sensitivity to local anesthetic
agent
Can be administered without moving the patient from
the supine position
Can be adapted easily to procedures of unpredictable
duration or extent
Can be administered rapidly and is reversible
Disadvantages & Side Effects

costs
Requires some degree of preoperative patient
preparation
Can induce physiologic fluctuations that require active
intervention
Associated with less serious complications such as
nausea or vomiting, sore throat, headache, shivering, and
delayed return to normal mental functioning
Associated with malignant hyperthermia, a rare,
inherited muscular condition in which exposure to some
(but not all) general anesthetic agents results in acute
and potentially lethal temperature rise, hypercarbia,
metabolic acidosis, and hyperkalemia
DEATH
 Vomiting - 10-20%
 Nausea - 10-40%
 Sore throat - 25%
 Incision pain - 30%
