Summary:The field of anesthesiology has changed dramatically from its humble beginnings. Rags of ether and the art of monitoring blood color for oxygenation have been replaced with precise concentrations of inhaled anesthetic and continuous pulse oximetry. It is on the shoulders of our predecessors that we stand today as anesthesiologists. We must constantly evolve to adapt to an ever-changing medical profession. It is this spirit and mind-set that will allow the field of anesthesiology to continue to advance and improve the care of our patients.
