Abstract
“Anesthesia medicine” begins with the medical examination of patient prior to surgery and then the respiratory organs during surgery, continues with circulation management, pain management, and management of the stability of the patient's breathing, blood pressure, and heart rate, and finishes with recovery confirmation.
Anesthesiologists are responsible for not only taking anesthesia for surgery, but also studying every day to make an effort to ensure safe and comfortable surgeries for patients.
I talked in this lecture about the current status of, the point at issue with, and the future of anesthesia. Some points that I raised were regional cooperation in the field of anesthesia medicine, the clarification of the roles of business, and postgraduate clinical training in anesthesiology, which was included in the proposal for countermeasures to deal with the lack of anesthesiologists, launched by the Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists.
