treatment, the need for anesthesia management will not be limited to surgical procedure, but
extended to many offsite locations. We, anesthesiologists, will work with CRNA side by side in

the front line is the topic we are focusing on currently and in the future.

We welcome every anesthesiologist to join the discussion on this issue and welcome the
constructive debate in elevated the level of our profession.
