Question
On average, how many urgent situations an anesthetist faces per year? can you give some exapmles? thank you.

Answer
This is an impossible question to answer. It depends on the type of practice you have, the kinds of cases you do, etc. Examples could be anything from hypotension, myocardial ischemia, lost airway, cardiac arrest, etc.
