மயக்க மருந்து எப்படி செயல்படுகிறது? Local, Regional and GeneralAnesthesia

Local, Regional and General Anaesthesia 

Anaesthesia refers to the practice of administering medications either 

by injection or by inhalation (breathing in) that block the feeling of pain and other sensations, 

or that produce a deep state of unconsciousness that eliminates all sensations, 

which allows medical and surgical procedures 

to be undertaken without causing undue distress or discomfort. 



Local anesthesia 

Local anesthesia is used to numb the feelings in a specific part of the body. 

This prevents pain during surgical procedures.



Regional anesthesia

Regional anesthesia is a type of pain management for surgery that numbs a 

large part of the body, such as from the waist down. 

This type of anesthesia, including spinal blocks and epidurals, is often used for childbirth.



General anesthesia

General anesthesia is most commonly used for major operations, such as knee and hip replacements, heart surgeries and many types of surgical procedures to treat cancer. Many of these surgeries are lifesaving or life-changing and would not be possible without general anesthesia.
