World Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine day Workshop brings the Spotlight on Strengthening Patient Safety Standards
Anesthesia (American English) or anaesthesia (British English) is a state of controlled, temporary loss of sensation or awareness that is induced for medical or veterinary purposes.
We publish original articles on all aspects of general and regional anaesthesia, intensive care and pain therapy, including research on equipment.
Anesthesia is a medical intervention that prevents patients from feeling pain during procedures like surgery, certain screening and diagnostic tests, tissue sample removal (e.g., skin biopsies), and dental work. Anesthesiologists are doctors who have been specifically trained to give medicines used for anesthesia, which are called anesthetics.
Medicine may be given by injection, inhalation, topical lotion, spray, eye drops, or a skin patch. Anesthesia can cause a loss of feeling, awareness, or both. Sedation may be used with anesthesia. Unlike full anesthesia, sedation doesn't make you completely unconscious, and recovery is faster.
What is anaesthesia? Anaesthesia is given to patients so that surgery and other medical procedures can be carried out safely, and without pain. The word anaesthesia means ‘loss of sensation’. People under anaesthetic will ‘lose’ feelings of pain and other sensations.
There are different types of anaesthesia, ranging from an injection of a local anaesthetic to numb one small area (such as a finger or tooth) to general anaesthesia with temporary complete loss of consciousness.
