What is Induction of Anesthesia? | What Anesthesiologists Actually Do Before Surgery

What actually happens before an anesthesiologist puts a patient to sleep? In this video, I walk through how I prepare for an anesthesia case — from evaluating the patient and thinking about the airway to setting up medications, monitors, equipment, and a plan for what could go wrong. Anesthesia is a lot more than just giving propofol and putting someone to sleep. A huge part of the job is preparation, anticipating problems, and being ready before the patient ever enters the operating room. I’m an anesthesiology resident sharing what I’m learning in the OR and breaking down anesthesia in a way that’s easy to understand.
