What procedures do anesthesiologists perform?

Anesthesiologists perform a variety of procedures, primarily focused on administering anesthesia and monitoring patients during surgical and medical procedures. They evaluate patients preoperatively, provide sedation and pain management, and can perform regional anesthesia techniques such as epidurals or nerve blocks. Additionally, they are responsible for managing vital signs and ensuring patient safety throughout the procedure. In some cases, anesthesiologists may also participate in pain management therapies and critical care medicine.
