Abstract

Anaesthesiology is an extremely stressful and risky branch of medicine. New techniques, new procedures, and innovations in anaesthesia increase the responsibilities and obligations of anaesthesiologists day by day. Operating rooms and intensive care units, which are the working environment of anaesthesiologists, are considered to be an unhealthy workplace. Anaesthesiologists are exposed to various potential physical,chemical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial risk factors and hazards in their work environments. The occupational risks anaesthesiologists are exposed to threaten their health and may cause their professional performance to decline. This article aimed to raise awareness about the occupational risks, hazards, and precautions in anaesthesiology practice.
