General Anesthesia is a medical technique used to make patients completely unconscious and pain-free during surgical procedures. It involves administering a combination of medications through an IV or inhaled gases, allowing doctors to perform operations without the patient feeling anything. This ensures that the patient remains still and relaxed, which is crucial for the safety and success of the surgery.
Before receiving General Anesthesia, patients are carefully evaluated to determine their health and any potential risks. An anesthesiologist, a doctor specialized in anesthesia, monitors the patient’s vital signs throughout the procedure, ensuring their safety and comfort until they wake up in the recovery room.
