OverviewAnesthesia is a medical practice used to induce a reversible loss of sensation or consciousness. It enables medical procedures like surgery or diagnostics to be performed without causing pain or discomfort to the patient. It encompasses various techniques, including general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and local anesthesia, each tailored to the specific needs of patients and procedures. General anesthesia induces a reversible state of unconsciousness, ensuring patients are unaware and free from pain during surgery. It involves a careful balance of drugs to achieve sedation, muscle relaxation, and analgesia while monitoring vital signs. Regional anesthesia targets specific nerve pathways, numbing a larger area of the body while allowing patients to remain conscious. Epidurals and nerve blocks are common examples, offering effective pain relief for childbirth, orthopedic surgeries, and chronic pain management. Local anesthesia blocks sensation in a small, specific area, typically through injection or topical application. It is commonly used for minor procedures like suturing wounds, dental work, and skin biopsies. The aim of this book is to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of anesthesia. For all those who are interested in this subject, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
