Ontario Anesthesiologists: Seeing You Through Your Most Critical Times
Anesthesiologists are the medical doctors who are responsible for your wellbeing before, during, and after surgery. We See You Through Your Most Critical Times.
Ontario’s 1200 anesthesiologists:
- Provide local, regional and general anesthesia in the Operating Room
- Administer epidural analgesia to mothers in labour,
- Assist with resuscitation in the Emergency Department, and
- Treat critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit.
We provide sedation for painful procedures throughout the hospital. We treat both acute and chronic pain conditions, and are responsible for pre-operative assessment and the immediate post-operative care of patients undergoing surgery. We are often involved in running operating rooms, and in hospital administration.
Improving Healthcare in Ontario
Because we participate in so many aspects of caring for Ontario’s patients, we are uniquely positioned to identify opportunities for efficiencies. We also have a strong history of working with the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care to improve fiscal prudence, while ensuring we maintain the highest standards of care, and access to care, for all Ontarians.
For more information on how Ontario’s anesthesiologists have helped reduce costs and improve access to care, as well as our position on the ongoing issue of the province’s healthcare budget cuts, please see
