Karin Ariese

I have been affiliated with the Netherlands Cancer Institute as an anesthesiologist-intensivist since 2011. As an anesthesiologist, I monitor a patient's vital signs, such as breathing and circulation, during surgery. I ensure that patients are adequately anesthetized and receive good pain relief after surgery. In intensive care, I treat patients after major operations and those who are seriously ill and need ventilation if necessary.

I find great satisfaction in providing this medical care, and with my actions I try to help patients and their loved ones through these often tense moments.
