Pancreatic disorders—such as pancreatitis and endocrine dysfunction—can alter fluid balance, electrolytes, glucose control, and hemodynamics, increasing perioperative risk. Understanding pancreatic physiology is essential for safe anesthesia management, preventing complications like hypotension, hypoglycemia, and inflammatory responses.

Ether Day, celebrated annually on October 16, commemorates the first successful public demonstration of diethyl ether anesthesia by dentist William T.G.
