Edited by Athanasios Chalkias, Mary L. Jarzebowski, Kathryn Rosenblatt
Anesthesiologists are leaders in perioperative medicine who are responsible for overseeing the care of patients undergoing surgical procedures. With a deep understanding of physiology and pharmacology, coupled with expert resuscitation and procedural skills, anesthesiologists are also particularly well-suited to practicing critical care medicine in medical, surgical, transplant, cardiothoracic, and neurological intensive care units (ICUs). Critical care anesthesiologists continue to expand in number and breadth of practice internationally.
