general anesthetics

General anesthetics are drugs used during surgery to make patients completely unconscious and free of pain. They work by interfering with nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord, temporarily shutting down consciousness, sensation, and memory. This allows surgeons to perform procedures without the patient feeling discomfort or being aware of the operation. Anesthetics can be administered through inhalation (gas or vapor) or injections. Once the procedure is done, the anesthetics are stopped, and the patient gradually wakes up. Their use is carefully monitored by anesthesia professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness throughout the surgery.
