[Fatigue and stress of anesthesiologists at work].
We studied the fatigue and stress of anesthesiologists at work using a flicker photometer, visual reaction time test and questionnaires to them. The two kinds of visual apparatus enabled us to measure two types of fatigue. On the other hand, the questionnaires relating to fatigue and stress indicated the stress tendencies and stressors by age, anesthetic experience, and sex. The results suggest that these methods are useful for measuring the fatigue and stress of anesthesiologists.
