Glossary Anesthesia

use of drugs to prevent pain during medical procedures

Anesthesia refers to the use of medications to prevent pain during surgery or other medical procedures. It can be administered in various forms, including general anesthesia, which induces a reversible loss of consciousness, and local anesthesia, which numbs a specific area of the body while the patient remains awake. Anesthetics work by blocking nerve signals in the body, ensuring that patients do not feel pain during the procedure.
