text: It's still not mentioned in the page. Even a copy paste of the definition here would be nice in the page. 129.21.75.21 (talk) 20:22, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added a (very) brief section describing emergence phenomena in the general anaesthesia article, which is a more appropriate place for that discussion than in this article IMHO. I have also rewritten the disambiguation page for emergence. I hope this helps. DiverDave (talk) 04:08, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

message: To those who are now attempting to edit the CRNA section to reflect YOUR politics, (anonymous IPs), it has been mandated by the staff of wiki that no changes are to be made without discussion here and agreement. I am the default protector of the CRNA section in this wiki entry and keep it from being politicized by ASA peons. Please, keep YOUR politics out of my section.

replies: text: Editing an article by adding sourced information and removing unsourced information is not vandalism, but good editing.  Claiming the article should remain as you left it is ownership, and violates wikipedia policy [].  If you and your sockpuppets are willing to have adult conversations and compromises on language that is one thing, crying vandalism everytime someone adds to an article you believe you own is another.

thread_title:  More vandals. 

message: This article is getting rather long, and to mirror other medical fields on Wikipedia, I propose that the "Anesthetic agents" section be split to its own article.  Almost all drug groups have their own articles, separate from the field of medicine that uses the drugs (see ).  There used to be an article called Anaesthetic drugs, but it was moved to List of anaesthetic drugs.  What I propose is merging the "Anesthetic agents" section of this article with List of anaesthetic drugs, and then moving the article to Anesthetic.  Anesthesia/Anesthetic would then parallel the related articles local anesthesia/local anesthetic and general anesthesia/general anesthetic.  A  link to Anesthetic with an overview summary would then be placed in the "Anesthetic agents" section of this article.  --Scott Alter 18:08, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

message: NYCMD, it is not your place to delete valid references from this article. Nor is it your place to edit the Nurse Anesthesia section because it does not fit your personal opinions. Moreover, lifelinetomodernmedicine.com is an ASA owned website and by definition biased. It isnt a reference, simply a page for ASA agenda. Mmackinnon (talk) 03:03, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  NYCMD DO NOT DELETE REFERENCES 

message: This article has significant problems related to MoS compliance, content (e.g., the prose is riddled with grammatical and spelling errors) and referencing (e.g., the article is nearly devoid of reliable sources). Due to these issues, I have reassessed this article as Start class. There is also a long history of NPOV issues, edit wars, vandalism, and heavy use of edit reversions. This article is greatly in need of attention from expert editors and any other interested editors. Respectfully, DiverDave (talk) 05:30, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I think Dr. Horace Wells should be mentioned in this article. He gave an unsuccessful demonstration of laughing gas with a dental patient in MGH and was booed at. But he was a pioneer of anesthesiology also.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.5.187 (talk) 23:24, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Classification has to be refined to only two broad groups such as 1)General and 2)Regional.
Further Regional anesthesia is to be divided into a.Spinal anesthesia, b.Epidural anesthesia, c.Nerve Blocks, d.Bier's Block (IV Regional anesthesia), e.Field block, f.Local infiltration.
Dissociative anesthesia is a type of phenomenon caused  by specific drug such as ketamine to induce painlessness. It comes under the classification of Total Intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) which is a sub-group under general anaesthesia.Drvijay2000 (talk) 17:13, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Types of Anaesthesia 

message: There is no citation for the section about Raymond Lullus first discovering ether.  His wikipedia page makes no mention.  Other sources -- including Cordas' wikipedia page -- say it was first synthesized by Valerius Cordas in 1570 when he mixed ethanol and sulfuric acid, calling the result "Sweet Oil of Vitriol."Msalt (talk) 21:52, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The discussion of OMFS in this detail is WP:UNDUE weight.  All surgical residencies, as well as many internal medicine subspecialties, are trained in administering anesthetic medications. However, this is not the place to discuss one specific surgical subspecialty, but to discuss those providers whose primary roles are to provide anesthesia related medciations (such as anesthesiologists, CRNAs, etc).  I would not mind a section, appropriately sourced and weight to describe that physicians in general can be trained in administering anesthetics such as critical care physicians, etc., but the section as written was completely UNDUE and reads like an advertisement for the OMFS subspecialty.

message: I've started changing the article.  See Anesthesia#indication to see the general tone I'm proposing.  Very general with lots of links to relevant information.  Looking for feedback from other editors.  Thanks.   Ian Furst (talk) 16:44, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: First bits of revision

message: The overall outline, headings and general themes are now created.  My next step will be to copy edit, improve the language so it's geared more towards the layperson, diversify the references (so far I've relied heavily on Miller's Anesthesia) and add some graphs or tables especially in the Risks and complications section. Ian Furst (talk) 13:24, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: 2nd bits of revision

message: I've now got the article to, what I believe is, the appropriate weight and scope for each area.  I'll continue with general copy editing and adding in references.  A graph for risk and complication turned out to be useless (it's misleading to compare M&M over the years due to risk stratification of patients).  If anyone can see where a graphic might better add to the story please let me know and I'll try to create it.  13:55, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Upgrading this article to B-class now.  I think it follows MEDMOS for the most part, has 1/2 decent references (although I'd like to add more online stuff) and I think the scope is OK.  Please leave feedback if you see areas for improvement. Ian Furst (talk) 02:30, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

message: really have a problem with this statement- what about keeping you alive while the "actual benefit" is being performed? or not recalling the assault? or perhaps emerging pain-free? shall i continue? and this is for a "standard" anesthetic not to mention the myriad other "non-beneficial" aspects of anesthesia  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.201.149.239 (talk) 02:32, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

message: this article suggests that chloroform use replaced ether, but the wiki article on ether says that ether "supplanted" chloroform.  this appears to be a contradiction....  and i wonder what the resolution would be. -- chris  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.34.62.49 (talk) 10:45, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

In the UK, "Anaesthesia" is also the name of the medical specialty known elsewhere as "Anesthesiology". I wonder if this is worth mentioning? Axl ¤ [Talk] 23:46, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I can add the info under the society section.  We call them the same in Canada.

thread_title:  Spelling 

message: The intro to the article contained information about the difference between British versus American naming of the term. I removed this, and changed the lead a little to avoid drawing attention one way or the other to the name of the professional discipline.
This information is already present in the "society and culture" section with references, so when I removed the information from the intro, I did not paste it elsewhere because it already was included.
I removed this because I did not think that the UK/US variation was so urgent to describe in the lead. It is enough to list the two spelling variations, anesthesia or anaesthesia, and leave further discussion to the society section in the body of the article.

message: An anesthesiologist now dead (Alan Dobkin) told me that although unconcious during the procedure, some patients can recall under hypnosis aspects of the procedure, including conversations in the operating room. I am not a doctor and have no way of knowing the truth of this (my father, also dead, was an anesthesiologist), but if it is true, I'm surprised not to see it mentioned. I don't believe he was talking about awareness during anesthesia. deisenbe (talk) 13:37, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

message: Can you help me move all the pages in :Category:Anesthesia to use the American form. I already did some. The reasons why I am doing this is because firstly, the American spelling is used on the article title on this page. I never moved this page at all, and secondly, all the articles in the category should have consistent titles with each other. I appreciate any help from any editor(s) available. Thank you.
