Anesthesiology is the medical branch that deals with special medical drugs that are administrated to the patient before carrying out any operation or invasive diagnosis. It ensures that the medical procedure can be carried out effectively while the patient experience minimum to no pain and trauma related to it. It can be either injected intravenously or through inhalation.
There are 3 kinds of anesthesia that are administrated are as follows:
- General Anesthesia- It causes total unconsciousness and is administrated for every major operation. Examples would be Open heart surgery or weight reduction surgery and so on,
- Regional Anesthesia- It causes numbness in a particular area (depending upon the site of the injection), but does not cause unconsciousness. It is used during troubled delivery and other gynecological procedures.
- Local Anesthesia- It causes numbness in a precise location, but enables the patient to be alert. It is used for a minor medical procedure such as getting stitches etc.
