FAQs
Anaesthesia is a medical technique used to induce a temporary state of controlled unconsciousness, loss of sensation, or analgesia (pain relief) during surgical procedures or certain medical treatments.
There are several types of anaesthesia:
- General anaesthesia: Renders the patient completely unconscious and unable to feel pain during the procedure.
- Regional anaesthesia: Numbs a specific region of the body, such as an arm or leg, using techniques like epidural or spinal anaesthesia.
- Local anaesthesia: Involves injecting an anaesthetic drug directly into the area being treated to numb that specific part.
Anaesthesia is typically administered by an anaesthesiologist—a medical doctor who specializes in anaesthesia and perioperative care.
During general anaesthesia, you’ll be completely unconscious and won’t remember the procedure. With regional or local anaesthesia, you’ll remain awake but won’t feel pain in the area being treated.
Post-surgical pain is effectively managed by anaesthesiologists using medications and techniques such as nerve blocks to ensure your comfort and promote recovery.
