Abstract:
Over the previous few months, COVID-19 and the corona virus have become the key words in every medium of the world. Our TV screens show the ever-riding number of fresh cases and the latest mortality figures. The pandemic has affected every aspect of the human life, but it has had one positive effect; it dragged the specialty of anesthesiology and its practitioners into limelight as never before. This editorial highlights the diverse nature of the anesthesiologists' role in confronting COVID-19 and management of the patients from emergency room (ER), to intensive care units (ICUs) to operating rooms (ORs).
