Glossary term

Anaesthesiologist

Reference only — not medical advice. See disclaimer.

A physician specialised in anaesthesia, perioperative medicine, and critical care. In medical-tourism contexts, the anaesthesiologist's training, board certification, and presence throughout the procedure are independent quality markers separate from the surgeon's credentials. In many jurisdictions a certified registered nurse anaesthetist (CRNA) or anaesthetic technician provides intra-operative monitoring under the anaesthesiologist's supervision.
