know the procedure

Anesthesia
The use of medicine to prevent or reduce
the feeling of pain or sensation
3 types:
Local
Regional
General

Given as an injection or through inhaled


gases or vapors

Determining the Right Amount


There is no single universal amount
Every anesthetic must be tailored to the
individual
Based on factors such as:
age, weight, gender
Family history
Chronic medical problems
General health & lifestyle

Observed Surgeries
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Tooth Reconstruction
Colonoscopy
Laparoscopic gallbladder
Hysteroscopy
Anterior cervical discectomy
Cataract

It became at once apparent


to all the world that surgical
anaesthesia had become a
reality and that pain was no
longer the master but the
servant of the body.
