What does an anaesthetist do?
An Anaesthetist in the UK is a fully trained doctor who specialised in taking care of you & your body for a procedure that requires an anaesthetic. Their specialist training & skills allows them to provide the best care for you, not only during your operation but also in the time before and afterwards. They are extensively trained in human physiology (how the body works), particularly the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys and liver. They are experts not only in anaesthesia but also resuscitation, intensive care and pain control. They work closely with the surgeons to provide the best possible result from your procedure. This is vitally important in plastic & aesthetic surgery, to provide the area of your body with exactly the correct blood supply & conditions to get the best tissue results from surgery.
