General Anesthesia
General anesthesia is a medically induced state of unconsciousness and insensibility to pain, used during surgical procedures to ensure patients do not experience discomfort or awareness. Anesthesiologists administer and monitor general anesthesia, adjusting levels of anesthetic agents to maintain the desired depth of anesthesia while ensuring patient safety. This practice involves a thorough understanding of pharmacology, physiology, and patient-specific factors.
