Anesthesia is defined as a state of temporary loss of sensation or awareness induced for medical purposes, which may include analgesia, paralysis, amnesia and unconsciousness. There are three main types of anesthesia: local anesthesia which numbs a small area, regional anesthesia which numbs a larger area, and general anesthesia which induces sleep, analgesia, unconsciousness and amnesia by affecting the central nervous system. The stages of anesthesia are induction, excitement, surgical anesthesia, and respiratory arrest or overdose. The main purposes of anesthesia are to induce unconsciousness, analgesia, amnesia, immobility and paralysis.
