WHAT DOES ANAESTHESIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

anaesthesia

Anesthesia

Anesthesia, or anaesthesia, is a temporary state consisting of unconsciousness, loss of memory, lack of pain, and muscle relaxation. Anesthesia is a unique medical intervention which does not itself offer any particular medical benefit and instead enables the performance of other medical interventions. The best anesthetic is therefore one with the lowest risk to the patient that still achieves the end points required to complete the other intervention. There are many different needs and goals of anesthesia. The goals are traditionally described as unconsciousness and amnesia, analgesia, and muscle relaxation. To reach multiple end points one or more drugs are commonly used, each of which serves a specific purpose in creating a safe anesthetic. The types of anesthesia are broadly classified into general anesthesia, sedation and regional anesthesia. General anesthesia refers to the suppression of activity in the central nervous system, resulting in unconsciousness and total lack of sensation. Sedation uses agents that inhibit transmission of nerve impulses between higher and lower centers of the brain inhibiting anxiety and the creation of long-term memories.

Definition of anaesthesia in the English dictionary

The first definition of anaesthesia in the dictionary is local or general loss of bodily sensation, esp of touch, as the result of nerve damage or other abnormality. Other definition of anaesthesia is loss of sensation, esp of pain, induced by drugs: called general anaesthesia when consciousness is lost and local anaesthesia when only a specific area of the body is involved. Anaesthesia is also a general dullness or lack of feeling.
