Legal and Ethical Considerations in Anesthesia Care

Image

Anesthesiologists have some ethical duties to the people they treat. The doctor has unique responsibilities in the patient-physician relationship, including direct communication with the patient, prioritising the patient's interests, providing devoted care for the patient, and telling the truth. Anesthesiologists respect each patient's right to make their own decisions. Anesthesiologists ought to involve patients, especially children, in medical decisions that are suitable for their developmental stage and the conditions at hand. Anesthesiologists should refrain from using their medical expertise to force or restrain patients who are capable of making informed decisions. Given the vulnerability of anaesthetized patients, anesthesiologists should make every effort to ensure their physical and mental security, comfort, and dignity. Anesthesiologists should keep an eye on themselves and their co-workers to prevent any disrespectful or abusive behaviour toward the patient who is under anaesthesia. They should protect the privacy of medical and personal data about their patients. Anesthesiologists should offer pre-anesthetic examination and treatment, as well as directly provide or participate in the process of making informed decisions, particularly with regard to the selection of an anaesthetic technique. If additional doctors, doctors-in-training, or non-medical providers are likely to assist with the patient's anaesthetic care, the anesthesiologist should let the patient know. They should be open and truthful when presenting their role in a patient's care to them, the patient's family or substitute, hospitals, and the general public. An explanation of this is a crucial component of informed consent. Anesthesiologists [3] should be physically and constantly accessible throughout the anaesthetic; they should be able to directly participate in the most demanding components of the anaesthetic care when working with non-physician anaesthesia providers or physicians-in-training to offer anaesthesia care. Anesthesiologists should give their patients the proper postanesthetic treatment. They shouldn't indulge in unethical business practises. To their medical peers, anesthesiologists have moral responsibilities. Anesthesiologists should encourage a collaborative and courteous relationship with their peers in the medical field so that patients can receive high-quality care. This obligation respects the work and responsibilities of other, such as doctors, nurses, medical students, technicians, and assistants. Anesthesiologists should offer prompt medical advice when requested and should look for advice when necessary. They should work together with other healthcare professionals to raise the standard, efficacy, and effectiveness of patient care. Anesthesiologists [4] should suggest to their colleagues to modify or stop their practise in a suitable manner if their capacity to practise medicine is temporarily or permanently compromised. They should help a co-worker who is returning to practise with their re-education or rehabilitation, to the best of their abilities. Anesthesiologists shouldn't take advantage of staff employees, non-physicians who provide anaesthesia or other medical professionals financially. Both verbal and written agreements should be truthful, clear, and respected. Anesthesiologists have moral standards to the medical centres where they work. Anesthesiologists ought to sit in committees for medical centres or subspecialties. This duty entails making sincere attempts to examine colleagues' work habits and contribute to the creation of departmental or hospital procedural norms for the good of the institution and all of its patients. Anesthesiologist along with the rest of the medical team, are accountable for keeping an eye out for any potentially negligent behaviours or situations that could endanger patients or workers at a healthcare institution and reporting them to the proper authorities. Because they personally handle so many regulated and potentially hazardous medicines, they have a specific obligation to protect these substances from unauthorised use. Anesthesiologists must adhere to create and maintain an effective monitoring system for controlled substances at the healthcare facility.
