How do you use anesthesia?
Before surgery, an anesthesiologist will meet with you and evaluate your medical condition and formulate an anesthetic plan that is right for you. During surgery, advanced technology is used to monitor your body's functions, and your anesthesiologist must interpret these sophisticated monitors in order to appropriately diagnose, regulate and treat your body while a personalized, delicate balance of anesthetic medications are administered. In some hospitals, nurse anesthetists may assist the anesthesiologists with the monitoring responsibilities. However, it is the anesthesiologist who is responsible for the interpretation of the monitoring, who make educated medical judgments concerning your responses, and when it is and when it is not appropriate to treat you. After surgery, your anesthesiologist will reverse the effects of the anesthetic medications you receive, and return you to consciousness once again.

What makes you fall asleep before surgery?
penethal ADDITION: Basically, what "makes you fall asleep is the combination of drugs that an anesthesiologist givens your before surgery. There are many forms of anesthesia that are used to help you "fall asleep," these forms of anesthesia keep you in a drug-induced state of unconsciousness during surgery. Some of the anesthesia drugs used are - Propofol and Diprivan (the most common), Anaspaz…; there are a number of pre-anesthesia drugs, some of these are - Benzodiazepines, Phenothiazine (Tranquilizer), Avertin… Generally before surgery, you are given a mild sedative drug that will help you relax; this sedative may even allow you to fall asleep. However, if you get very nervous before surgery (as nervous as I do), your body's natural adrenalin, will fight off the doziness caused by the sedative. The drugs that are used to put you under during surgery are very different; and those drugs are not easily over-ridden by your body's adrenaline. There are also drugs which inhibit the patient's ability to remember their procedure. You may or may NOT fall asleep when given one of these drugs, but sleep is not as much the function of these drugs, as the ability they have to interfere with your memory. The types of general anesthesia vary, these drugs are given intravenously and by injection; whereby causing the patient to fall into a deep drug induced sleep. There are also forms of anesthesia that are delivered in a gas or vapor form; these are administered though a breathing tube or mask. Anesthesia drugs are also grouped together, intravenous or injection, and inhalation may be used in combination. An anesthesiologist must monitor your breathing during the surgery, as well as you heart-rate, body temperature, oxygen levels, blood pressure and more. The primary function of anesthesia and its combination of drugs are designed to relieve pain with analgesics; to immobilize, causing muscle paralysis that restricts movement; and as a sedative to induce sleep, unconsciousness, or cause amnesia (memory loss). In summary, all surgeries and all forms of anesthesia medication pose a small risk to life; some people may develop complications due to the anesthesia, sadly anesthesia can result in the death of some patients. A patient must be carefully monitored by an anesthesiologist during surgery.
Could body chills be an effect of anesthesia?
Yes, body chills can be an effect of anesthesia. Anesthesia can disrupt the body's temperature regulation, leading to a drop in body temperature, which may result in chills. Additionally, factors such as the surgical environment, exposure to cold instruments, and the effects of certain anesthetic agents can contribute to this sensation. It's important for medical staff to monitor and manage body temperature during and after surgery to minimize discomfort.
What kind of anesthesia makes part of the body numb?
The term for this is a regional anesthetic.
Why are anesthesia's like ether and chloroform fat solvents?
Anesthetics like ether and chloroform are fat solvents because they are able to dissolve in fats and lipids, allowing them to easily cross the lipid-rich cell membranes in the body and reach their target sites in the nervous system. This property makes them effective at disrupting the transmission of nerve signals and inducing anesthesia.
