AB  - Historically,  the  role  of  the  anesthesiologist  was  limited  to  the  physician  who  administers  anesthesia  to  suppress  pain  and  consciousness  in  a  patient  undergoing  surgery.  Today,  The  American  Society  of  Anesthesiologists  defines  an  anesthesiologist  as  a  perioperative  physician,  the  “all-around”  physician  responsible  for  providing  medical  care  through  all  junctures  of  a  patient’s  surgical  course.  In  the  current  health  care  system,  in  addition  to  providing  pain  control  and  life  support  functions  during  and  after  surgery,  anesthesiologists  play  important  roles  in  preoperative  surgical  planning  and  preparation  as  well  as  many  other  aspects  of  patient  care.
