Types of Anesthesia

Anesthesia is classified into four main types: general, regional, local, and sedation. General anesthesia renders the patient unconscious and is used for major surgeries. Regional anesthesia, such as spinal or epidural, blocks sensation in a specific region while the patient remains awake. Local anesthesia numbs a small area and is often used for minor procedures. Sedation induces relaxation and drowsiness and is frequently combined with other types. The choice depends on the surgical procedure, patient health, and preferences. Anesthesiologists assess risks and benefits to select the most appropriate type, ensuring safety, pain control, and optimal surgical conditions.
