anaesthesiologists

Knock-out medical specialists

Anaesthesiologists are physicians who specialize in anaesthesia—the medical suppression of pain and sensation during surgery and other procedures.

They assess patients before operations, administer anaesthetic drugs, monitor vital signs throughout procedures, and manage pain recovery.

The spelling with ae is British; American English uses anesthesiologists.
