Anaesthetics and Analgesia

Anaesthetics are medications used to block pain and awareness during medical procedures, ensuring comfort and safety. They come in different forms: general anaesthetics make you unconscious, local anaesthetics numb a specific area, and regional anaesthetics block sensations in larger regions. Analgesia refers specifically to pain relief without losing consciousness, often achieved with medications like painkillers. Both are carefully administered by trained professionals to manage pain, minimize discomfort, and ensure patients are safe and comfortable throughout medical interventions.
