Anesthesiology is the practice of perioperative medicine including, but not limited to, patient care before, during, and after surgery and other diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and the management of systems and personnel that support these activities. The practice of anesthesiology includes the evaluation and optimization of preexisting medical conditions, the perioperative management of coexisting disease, the delivery of anesthesia and sedation, the management of post-anesthetic recovery, the prevention and management of periprocedural complications, the practice of acute and chronic pain medicine, and the practice of critical care medicine. This care is personally provided, directed, and/or supervised by the physician anesthesiologist and may occur in various areas of the institution including the operating room, endoscopy suite, labor and delivery, emergency department, critical care unit, interventional radiology and cath lab.The practice of anesthesiology includes the delegation of monitoring and appropriate tasks by the physician to certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) or anesthesia assistants (AAs). Such delegation is defined specifically by the physician anesthesiologist and must be consistent with state law, state regulations, and medical staff policy. Although selected tasks may be delegated to qualified members of the Anesthesia Care Team (ACT), overall responsibility for the team’s actions and patient safety ultimately rests with the physician anesthesiologist.The anesthesiologist, in addition to their daily clinical duties, will coordinate with their colleagues to ensure that equitable, 24 hour call coverage is maintained 365 days per year for urgent and emergent patient care and consultation.
