Anaesthesia has long been compared to the aviation industry, where even a
slight blunder can result in a disastrous accident. Similar to aviation, this
necessitates a high degree of competence and diligence. With the growing
sophistication of surgeries and the rapid advancement of science and newer
medicines, safety is always a priority.
