anesthetics

Anesthetics are medications used to prevent pain during medical procedures. They can be categorized into two main types: general anesthetics, which make you unconscious and unaware of pain, and local anesthetics, which numb a specific area of the body while keeping you awake. General anesthetics are typically administered through inhalation or intravenous injection, while local anesthetics are often injected directly into the site needing treatment. Anesthetics help ensure that surgeries and other medical procedures can be performed safely and comfortably, allowing patients to undergo necessary treatments without experiencing pain or distress.
