According to WHO statistics, 234 million people undergo surgery every year, which is equivalent to 1 person for every 25 people who need surgery. At present, the annual operating volume of China will account for about110 of the global operating volume. According to the proportion of the world's population, the future global15 surgery will be completed in China. The importance of anesthesiologists is self-evident. They ensured the patient's life safety during the operation. No anesthesia, only minor surgery, no minor anesthesia. After anesthesia, the patient's life is completely in the hands of the anesthesiologist. A little negligence, the consequences will be very serious, even irreparable. In order to improve the status of anesthesiologists, anesthesiologists should publicize themselves and stand bravely at the front desk; Have perfect theoretical knowledge and skilled anesthesia operation skills; Have team spirit and be good at multidisciplinary cooperation; Have a good professional ethics.

William Morton, an American anesthesiologist (184610/October 16, General Hospital of Massachusetts, Boston, first applied ether anesthesia to the whole world) wrote on the tombstone: "Before him, surgery was a kind of pain; Since then, science has overcome pain. " Every anesthesiologist has relieved many patients' pain and saved many patients' lives in his medical career. How many times did the patient save the day when his vital signs were in danger and he was on the verge of collapse? How many times did the patient leave quietly when he turned the corner and woke up comfortably? Whether the position and role of anesthesiologists in the medical system reflects its real value and is recognized by everyone is undoubtedly worth pondering and discussing.
