anesthesiologist
Noun: A medical doctor who specializes in anesthesiology. An anesthesiologist is responsible for administering anesthesia (medication to prevent pain and induce unconsciousness or sedation) to patients before and during surgical or medical procedures. They also monitor the patient's vital signs (like heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure) throughout the procedure and manage pain relief after surgery.
The word "anesthesiologist" is used to refer to the specific medical professional. It is a formal term. * The anesthesiologist will meet with you before your surgery to discuss the anesthesia plan. * She trained for many years to become an anesthesiologist. * A key member of the surgical team is the anesthesiologist.
