Patients
undergoing general anaesthesia General anaesthesia is a medical procedure which renders a patient unconscious so that they are unable to feel pain during a surgery or other medical procedure. It is achieved through the administration of special drugs known as anaesthetics and is commonly used for operations in which the patient must stay still for a long period of time. General anaesthesia is an important tool for medical professionals as it allows for complex procedures to be safely carried out upon a patient. Additionally, it helps to reduce the amount of anxiety and pain experienced by the patient during the procedure.
