General Anesthesia

Anesthesia is one of the most important factors that enables a person to undergo surgery. The numbing of the patient's body using medical drugs to ensure the surgery is safe and healthy, the patient does not feel pain during the procedure, and the surgeon can work comfortably is defined as anesthesia.

There are three types of anesthesia: general, regional, and local. In general anesthesia, the entire body is numbed and the patient loses consciousness. Regional anesthesia involves numbing a specific part of the body from the waist down or a specific area like an arm or leg. With this method, the procedure is performed while the patient's consciousness is open.

Local anesthesia involves numbing a smaller area. For example, this method is used in small procedures such as removing moles.

In addition to general anesthesia, spinal and epidural anesthesia that numb the body from the waist down, and RIVA anesthesia types that numb a single arm or leg, also help patients recover more easily after surgery.
