The female anesthesia resurgence "swinging" in the operating room

Behind the blue cloth, the surgeons` operations, anesthesia resurgences are working hard, dealing with the bad cases.

Working in silence, the anesthetists and rehabilitation practitioners are constantly on the sidelines in every surgery and they play a decisive role in the success of the operation.

For example, men and women, who choose to work as stress-press, often stand between life and death.
