Anesthesiology (pain management)

Anesthesiologists are doctors who specialize in pain relief and the care of patients having surgery.

• Before and during surgery, they give you anesthesia and watch your breathing, heart rhythm, blood pressure and other vital signs.
• After surgery, they help keep you comfortable and provide critical care.
