Anesthesiology is the medical specialty focused on providing anesthesia, pain management, and perioperative care to patients undergoing surgery or medical procedures. Critical care medicine involves the treatment of life-threatening conditions in intensive care units (ICUs), managing organ failure, trauma, and severe infections.
