Every year, over 200 million people worldwide undergo surgical procedures in the operating room (OR), and demand for surgery and anaesthesia is steadily increasing (Rose, J., et al. 2015; Weiser, T.G., et al. 2008; Uribe-Leitz, T., et al. 2015). In addition, many procedures - currently about 15 % of anaesthetic volume - are performed outside of the OR, e.g. in the radiology or endoscopy suite (Van De Velde, M., et al. 2009). Not only are the absolute numbers of patients on the rise, but, due to demographic change in high-income countries, more and more chronically ill patients will be candidates for surgical and non-surgical interventions. All these patients, many of them high-risk, need pre-interventional consultation and subsequently anaesthesia, post-anaesthesia, intermediate and intensive care.
