Anesthesia
If you are having surgery, your doctor will offer
you a drug called an anesthetic. Anesthetics
diminish or avoid pain. There are four main types.
- Local: numbs one small area of the body. You stay awake and alert.
- Conscious or intravenous (IV) sedation:
uses a mild sedative to relax you and pain medicine
to relieve pain. You stay awake but may not remember
the procedure afterwards.
- Regional anesthesia: blocks pain
in an area of the body, such an arm or leg. Epidural
anesthesia, which is sometimes used during childbirth,
is a type of regional anesthesia.
- General anesthesia: affects your
whole body. You go to sleep and feel nothing. You
have no memory of the procedure afterwards.
The kind of anesthesia your doctor chooses depends on
a lot of factors. These comprise the procedure you are
having and your current health.
