What does an anesthesiologist study?

Bachelor degree or above in anesthesiology, with the qualification certificate of surgical anesthesiologist.

Anesthesiologist is to observe the patient's vital signs at any time during the operation and do the corresponding rescue treatment in time, so as to provide a painless and comfortable operation process for the patient under the premise of ensuring the patient's life safety.

Skills requirements:

Master the mechanism and first aid skills of toxic and anesthetic drugs and rescue drugs, such as the skilled application of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, tracheal intubation, ECG monitoring, ventilator and other equipment, and be able to independently perform various surgical anesthesia and guide postoperative analgesia. Have a high sense of responsibility, good professional ethics, rigorous work attitude, quick hands and feet.

Extended data:

The scope of modern anesthesia mainly includes four aspects:

1, clinical anesthesia

It involves all perioperative management before and after anesthesia. Make preparations before anesthesia, such as understanding the condition and choosing the most suitable anesthesia and drugs in combination with surgery. In order to reduce the preoperative mental stress of patients and ensure the smooth progress of anesthesia and operation, sedatives, analgesics, anticholinergic drugs and other drugs can be given appropriately before anesthesia. Fasting should be done before anesthesia to prevent complications such as vomiting and aspiration during anesthesia and operation.

After receiving the operating room, anesthetize the patient according to the operation requirements. During anesthesia and operation, we should closely observe the changes of patients and carry out necessary treatment. After anesthesia, the patient will be safely sent back to the sick room or anesthesia recovery room, and the monitoring and treatment will continue until the patient returns to normal physiological function. Keep anesthesia records during and after anesthesia.

2, intensive care

Critically ill patients or patients with serious complications during anesthesia operation, such as severe dysfunction of circulation, respiration, nerve, liver, kidney and metabolism.

It can be concentrated in the intensive care unit with concentrated precision and expensive equipment, and carefully monitored and treated by professionally trained medical staff. Anesthesiology plays an important role in it, participating in shock treatment and respiratory treatment.

3. Emergency resuscitation

During anesthesia, the heart will suddenly stop breathing, and there will be circulatory and respiratory failure (such as disease, trauma, drowning, electric shock, traffic accidents, etc.). Various reasons that may occur in the emergency room and ward require immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the participation of anesthesiologists.

4. Pain treatment

Treat various acute and chronic pains (such as post-traumatic pain, lumbago and leg pain, neuralgia, tumor pain and central pain).
