Abstract

Many embark on the dream of the white coat often without knowing that the life of a doctor implies great personal costs. Doctors, like other professionals, are at risk inherent in the nature of the work and the environment in which it is carried out. The anesthesiologist is no exception to the rule and is exposed to an unhealthy environment when caring for patients and dedicating themselves to them, they are often exposed to the action of harmful agents.
