Anesthesia
Anesthesia can be local, regional or generalized. The purpose is to allow for procedures without the patient feeling pain. This can be anything from having a tooth pulled to open heart surgery. The different levels of anesthesia can cause an area to be numb all the way to putting the patient in an induced coma.

What are the mechanics of general anesthesia?
There are three main categories of anesthesia, each having many forms and uses. They are:
- General
- Regional
- Local
In general anesthesia, you are unconscious and have no awareness or other sensations. There are a number of general anesthetic drugs - some are gases or vapors inhaled through a breathing mask or tube and others are medications introduced through a vein.
In regional anesthesia, your anesthesiologist makes an injection near a cluster of nerves to numb the area of your body that requires surgery. You may remain awake, or you may be given a sedative, either way you do not see or feel the actual surgery taking place. There are several kinds of regional anesthesia; the two most common are spinal anesthesia and epidural anesthesia.
In local anesthesia, the anesthetic drug is usually injected into the tissue to numb just the specific location of your body requiring minor surgery.
