Surgical anesthesia
Surgical anesthesia is a medical state induced to facilitate surgical procedures by temporarily eliminating sensations of pain and consciousness. Anesthesia involves the administration of medications, typically intravenously or through inhalation, to induce a controlled and reversible state of unconsciousness. This ensures patients do not experience pain or discomfort during surgery. Anesthesia also includes the management of physiological functions, such as breathing and blood pressure. Anesthesiologists carefully monitor patients throughout the procedure, adjusting anesthesia levels as needed.
