About[]
A medical device that provides anesthesia to patients traditionally of having sensation (including the feeling of pain) blocked or temporarily taken away. This allows patients to undergo surgery and other procedures without the distress and pain they would otherwise experience. Another definition is a "reversible lack of awareness", whether this is a total lack of awareness (e.g. a general anesthetic) or a lack of awareness of a part of the body such as a spinal anesthetic or another nerve block would cause. Anesthesia differs from analgesia in blocking all sensation, not only pain. Anesthesia is pharmacological induced reversible state of Amnesia,Analgesia,Loss of consciousness, Loss of skeletal muscle reflexes and decreased stress response. The current inhaled general anesthetic agents are :Desflurane, Enflurane, Halothane, Isoflurane, Nitrous Oxide, Sevoflurane, and Xenon (rarely used).
