Anesthesiology

Anesthetic and perioperative management for surgical, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures, including general and regional anesthesia, procedural sedation, airway management, anesthetic pharmacology, intraoperative monitoring, and perioperative outcomes. Includes critical care when specifically centered on anesthesiology practice. Distinct from pain medicine, where pain is the primary condition being treated, and from broader surgical, perioperative, emergency, and critical care topics.
