Technological development, implementation of new techniques and scientific knowledge into clinical practice, has a strong impact on development of surgical and anesthesiological professions. However, it creates new and unknown ethical issues within surgeons-anesthesiologist and their patient's relationship. Development of physiological-individualized anesthesia techniques focused on patient's outcome unquestionably is related to more general organizational ethical issues. Presented article analyzes factors influencing unavoidable, concomitant development of surgical and anesthesiological professions. It also addresses several ethical issues within the context of society development. There is a body of evidence ascribing identities of profession and different attitudes as well as interpretations of inter specialty relations. There is a need for constant discussion between the specialty representatives groups elaborating professional recommendations for further co-operation accepted by both sides.
技术发展,即将新技术和科学知识应用于临床实践,对外科和麻醉专业的发展产生了重大影响。然而,这在外科医生与麻醉医生及其患者的关系中引发了新的、未知的伦理问题。专注于患者预后的生理个体化麻醉技术的发展无疑与更普遍的组织伦理问题相关。本文分析了影响外科和麻醉专业不可避免的同步发展的因素。它还探讨了社会发展背景下的几个伦理问题。有大量证据表明了专业身份以及对专业间关系的不同态度和解读。专业代表团体之间需要持续进行讨论,以制定双方都能接受的进一步合作的专业建议。
