Abstrakt: Anaesthesiologists by virtue of their understanding of physiology, pharmacology and resuscitation skills are best suited to manage critical care units. Armed with this varied knowledge, the anaesthesiologist is 'physician to the surgeon and a surgeon to the physician'. Specialised training helps them to provide extended postoperative and critical care. During the past few months in the battle with coronavirus disease (COVID)-19, anaesthesiologists have stood up to the challenge of caring for critically ill patients, compromising on their operating room responsibilities. The fact from a growing body of literature suggests that an anaesthesiologist as a critical care specialist provides efficient care and better outcomes. With an increasing awareness and need for critical care, government support is going to increase with an increase in avenues for training and research leading to better professional development and earning potential.
