Anaesthetics

Anaesthetics are medications used by medical professionals to temporarily block sensation, including pain, during surgeries or procedures. They work by interrupting nerve signals or altering brain chemistry to create a controlled, reversible state of unconsciousness or numbness. There are different types: local anaesthetics (numb a small area), regional anaesthetics (block larger areas like an arm or leg), and general anaesthetics (render the entire body unconscious). Its goal is to ensure patient comfort and safety during procedures, with careful monitoring to manage dosage and minimize risks.
