Anaesthesiology into the new millenium

LOOKING into the crystal ball to see what the future will bring is very exciting, but is still one of the most unscientific things we can do. However, we have to face one important fact concerning the future: things will definitely be different and we have to be flexible and constructive in order to meet new challenges, whatever they may be. In general, anaesthesia is, and will continue to be, shaped by an interaction between anaesthesiologists and the society around us. There will be changes in our physical surroundings, development in technology and changes in general attitudes, all having a major impact on our practice. At the turn of the millenium it may be useful to stop, and try to summarize some of the issues which may be important in the future.
