In the recent years, anesthesiology has been becoming a multidisciplinary specialty. It is a probably the only specialty which has developed far beyond its original objective- to relieve the pain of surgical procedures. Today, the anesthesiologist or anesthetist has involved himself in numerous activities outside of the operating theater. The unique training and knowledge of the present day anesthesiologist has encouraged him to go into the fields of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, disaster medicine, pulmonary therapy and critical care medicine, not only in the clinical areas but also in the research areas of these activities.
