How important is the position of anesthesiologist in an operation?

1. Without an anesthesiologist, people all over the world know that patients are awake, and they have to be a wool when doing surgery! So the first function: humanization, avoiding shouting, after all, the operating room is not a slaughterhouse.

2. There is no anesthesiologist, and the patient's vital signs are unstable during the operation, so ask the doctor for help. In most cases, he doesn't know how to rescue him. It's still wool after the operation. So the second role: high-end sentry! Anything can happen during the operation. Anesthesiologists have rich experience in rescue. For problems that may lead to serious consequences, such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, and severe drop in blood oxygen saturation, they will tell the doctor whether it is necessary to stop the operation and deal with the symptoms to ensure the safety of patients to the greatest extent!

With an anesthesiologist, doctors can easily do ghosts. The third role: share the difficulties! We work as a team, huh? Of course, that was a joke. There is a project called "Anesthesia Risk Assessment", which is about whether a complicated patient can have surgery. If the anesthesiologist says the patient can't operate, the doctor won't let the patient operate. Because doctors consider a single system of diseases, while anesthesiologists consider whether the whole body can safely withstand surgery. Only when the doctor and anesthesiologist reach a consensus that it is safe can the operation be carried out.

As a surgeon, I know it is not easy to be an anesthesiologist. In fact, every anesthesiologist is the hero behind every successful operation. At least half of the credit should go to them, just as curly can't live without Watson. Thanks to all the anesthesiologists I have worked with! They are jobs that really exist for "safety"!
