Anesthesiology is a surgical specialty that deals with the administration and management of anesthesia during a surgical operation. It also encompasses the full scope of perioperative medicine, including preoperative medical evaluation, management of pre-existing disease in the surgical patient, intraoperative life support, intraoperative pain control, post-operative recovery, intensive care medicine, and chronic and acute pain management.
