Michigan was an early adopter of academic anesthesiology departments, introducing them in universities in the 1940s. Since then, Michigan anesthesiologists have led countless medical breakthroughs and advancements in patient care.

The use of anesthesia dates back thousands of years, but its first recorded use was in the 1840s.

Today, anesthesiologist-led care has ushered in many advancements in patient care and safety, and in medical techniques, technologies and practices.

Did you know? Anesthesia care teams work under the direction of an anesthesiologist to coordinate quality patient care. These physicians protect patients when they are at their most vulnerable.

As a patient requiring a medical procedure, you can trust the anesthesiologist-led care team to be by your side before, during and after your procedure to keep you safe while you are unconscious. #PatientSafetyAwarenessWeek
