An anaesthetist is a specialist medical doctor with advanced training in anaesthesia, pain management, and the care of patients before, during, and after surgery.
In Australia, anaesthetists are Fellows of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (FANZCAs) and typically complete at least 12 years of training after their university medical degree.
Your anaesthetist is present for the entire procedure. They monitor your vital signs such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels while adjusting your breathing, medications, fluids, and body temperature to keep you safe and comfortable.
Throughout the operation, they counteract the effects of the surgery itself, the anaesthetic medications, and any underlying health conditions, ensuring your body remains stable and well-supported.
