Anaesthesia is a medical treatment used to prevent pain during surgeries, procedures, or diagnostic tests. It works by temporarily blocking sensation in a specific part of the body or inducing unconsciousness. It allows patients to undergo surgery without experiencing pain or distress.

There are three main types of anaesthesia:

  • General Anaesthesia: The patient is put to sleep and unaware of the procedure.
  • Regional Anaesthesia: Numbs a specific area of the body, such as spinal or epidural anaesthesia.
  • Local Anaesthesia: Numbs only a small, specific area of the body for minor procedures. Each type is selected based on the surgery or procedure and the patient's health needs.
Yes, anaesthesia is generally very safe, especially when administered by a trained anaesthesiologist. Modern anaesthesia drugs and monitoring equipment have significantly reduced risks. However, there are always some risks, depending on the type of anaesthesia, the patient's health, and the complexity of the procedure.
Anaesthesiologists continuously monitor vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and breathing patterns. They also check the depth of anaesthesia to ensure the patient remains unconscious or pain-free throughout the procedure.
No, you will not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure if the anaesthesia is correctly administered. However, after the surgery, you might feel groggy or disoriented as the effects of the anaesthesia wear off. Your medical team will help manage any discomfort you may experience post-surgery.
Patients are typically advised to avoid eating or drinking for a certain period before anaesthesia, usually 6-8 hours for solid food and 2-3 hours for liquids. This reduces the risk of complications, such as aspiration (inhalation of food or liquid into the lungs), which can be dangerous under anaesthesia.
While anaesthesia is very safe, some potential side effects may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sore throat, or confusion. Rarely, more serious complications such as allergic reactions or breathing problems can occur. The anaesthesiologist will assess any pre-existing conditions to minimize risks.
In some cases, patients may experience temporary confusion or memory issues after receiving general anaesthesia, particularly older adults. This is usually short-lived and resolves within hours or days. If you are concerned about memory or cognitive function, discuss this with your anaesthesiologist prior to the procedure.
Yes, certain medications, especially blood thinners, can affect anaesthesia. It's important to inform your anaesthesiologist about all medications, supplements, and herbs you are taking so they can give you specific instructions on what to stop or adjust before surgery.
The duration of anaesthesia effects varies depending on the type used and the individual. General anaesthesia may leave you feeling groggy for several hours, while local anaesthesia wears off within a few hours. The anaesthesiologist will monitor your recovery and ensure you are comfortable during the wake-up process.
