Anaesthesia

Anaesthesia allows otherwise painful procedures to be performed without discomfort by temporarily removing or reducing sensation.

There are 3 main types of anesthesia

  • Local Anesthesia
  • Regional Anesthesia
  • General Anesthesia.

‘Local’, or ‘Regional Anaesthesia’, numbs only a specific part of your body; while ‘General Anaesthesia’ draws you into complete unconsciousness. The appropriate quantity of anaesthetic drug is skillfully administered throughout the procedure the degree of numbness or unconsciousness can accurately controlled by the anaesthetist.
