Coming out of our Comfort Zone
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Conventionally, anesthesiologists practice as perioperative physician, providing preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care to their surgical patients. Though primarily they focus on providing anesthesia to their surgical patients, they usually function as a perioperative physician providing ‘non-operative care’ to them [1]. With the skills they have acquired in this, along with the technological advancements, their service is no longer confined to the operating rooms. Emerging requirements away from our routine comfort zone of operating suites has posed new challenges to the specialty.
