The word anesthesia means ‘loss of sensation’.
It can involve a simple local anesthetic injection which numbs a small part of the body, such as a finger or around a tooth. It can also involve using powerful drugs which cause unconsciousness.
These drugs also affect the function of the heart, the lungs, and circulation. As a result, anesthesia is only given under the close supervision of an anesthesiologist, who is trained to consider the best way to give you an effective anesthetic but also to keep you safe and well.
