Anesthesia

Anesthesia is a medical practice used to induce a temporary loss of sensation or consciousness in a patient undergoing surgery or certain medical procedures. It ensures that patients are pain-free and comfortable during invasive interventions by blocking nerve signals to the brain or inducing a state of unconsciousness. Various types of anesthesia exist, including general anesthesia (where the patient is fully unconscious), regional anesthesia (numbing specific regions of the body), and local anesthesia (numbing a small area). Anesthesia is administered and monitored by trained professionals to ensure patient safety and comfort throughout the procedure.
