General Anesthesia

General Anesthesia is a medical procedure that uses drugs to render patients unconscious, allowing them to tolerate painful procedures without feeling pain or being aware of what is happening. It is used in major surgeries and other procedures to ensure the patient’s comfort and safety. General Anesthesia affects the central nervous system and can cause temporary amnesia, muscle relaxation and decreased responses to external stimuli. It is critical as it ensures a patient can have invasive medical procedures done with minimal discomfort. General Anesthesia is administered by an anesthesiologist and often includes the use of monitored inhalation agents, intravenous drugs and local anesthetics.
