He/she watches numerous monitors & guages. There's a fairly new monitor called the BIS monitor that helps monitor your brainwave activity through little sticky-foam sensors placed on your forehead during surgery that helps determine your level of sedation too.
The anesthesiologist then administers correlating medication in proper doses to keep you under the proper sedation level needed for the procedure. Different meds are used for the induction of anesthesia (putting you to sleep), along with drugs that paralize you, inhibit secretions, cause memory loss, etc...and for waking you up they administer meds that reverse that. I work in surgery; I see this NUMEROUS times a day!

During surgery patients receive their medications and fluids by IV lines. The anesthesiologist watches the monitors and can adjust the rate of the IV if needed. Anesthesia is also provided by gasses, and the doc monitors the gas flow and can adjust that as well.

the only gaseous medicine used in the working room at present is sevoflurane, an ether-style inhalant for adjunct anesthesia induction. If anesthesiologists are respiration in the stuff it is notably extreme malpractice...

They usually stand by your head and give the medication to you through your IV.

They adjust it to the level of your consciousness. If you start coming out of it they give you more.
