Anaesthesiology

General Anaesthesia is the state produced when a patient receives medications for amnesia, analgesia, muscle paralysis, and sedation. An anaesthetised patient can be thought of as being in a controlled, reversible state of unconsciousness. Anaesthesia enables a patient to tolerate surgical procedures that would otherwise inflict unbearable pain, potentiate extreme physiologic exacerbations, and result in unpleasant memories. An Anaesthesiologist is a specially trained doctor who specializes in Anaesthesia. While you are unconscious, the Anaesthesiologist monitors your body's vital functions and manages your breathing.
