### condition | anesthesia:

General anesthesia
* can have side effects
  - sometimes depress the person's central nervous system
* causes loss of consciousness with local anesthesia numbing a certain area.
* combines amnesia, analgesia, skeletal muscle relaxation, and sensory blockade.
* deeper plane where sleep is guaranteed and is available for most procedures.
* has a higher risk of complication than the actual abortion procedure
  - number of benefits
* increases the risk of death from vacuum curettage abortion.
* is administered to keep the patient still during the procedure
  - via a double lumen endotracheal tube
  - another form of pain relief
  - entirely painless
  - given by a member of the department of anesthesia
  - like sleeping
  - necessary to carefully replace the prolapsed organ inside the body
  - required for most Liposuction of the hips, buttocks, and thighs
* is the most common type
  - preferred anesthetic for vasectomy reversal
* is used for emergencies during the birthing process
  - major surgeries and leaves a patient completely unconscious
* is used for most major operations
  - surgeries, and someone skilled at anesthesia is always present
  - in the very rare cases where open surgery is required
  - primarily for major operations, and the patient is completely asleep
  - to keep the patient deep asleep and pain-free
  - usually a combination of both inhalation and intravenous methods
  - utilized routinely for young children
* makes a patient unconscious and insensible to any feeling.
* means of inducing sleep
  - that a person is put to sleep with medications and feels no pain
  - the person is put to sleep with medications
* nonphysiological state which often sig nificantly affects laboratory data.
* produces a loss of sensation throughout the entire body.
* provides complete relief from both anxiety and pain.
* puts the whole patient into a type of deep sleep.
* relaxes the pelvic muscles so the doctor can feel deep structures.
* renders a person unconscious so that the entire body feels no pain.
* requires either an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist to be present.
* reversible state of unconsciousness and insensibility to pain.
* tends to cause vasodilation.
* type of anesthesia which puts the person to sleep.

### condition | anesthesia:

Local anesthesia
* Most local anesthesia is given by injection under the skin.
* avoids some of the risks and side effects of general anesthesia.
* causes a loss of sensation in the anesthetized area.
* consists of two small injections, one behind the ear and one in the lower eyelid.
* is administered by injection or application directly to the eye
  - anaesthesia
  - considered safer than general anesthesia
  - infiltrated into the area of surgery after intravenous sedation is administered
  - injected into the muscle of the chest wall
  - lidocaine injected into the cervix for a numbing effect
  - much safer than general anesthesia
  - placed at the sacral cornu
* is safer and less expensive than general or spinal anesthesia
  - than local anesthesia with sedation
  - similar, but often applies to the numbing of a smaller area
  - the most common form of anesthesia used for abortion procedures
  - to numb only the surgical area
* is used to minimize discomfort
  - mitigate pain from needle access to the femoral artery
  - numb the toe, and the ingrown portion of the nail is removed
  - when suturing cuts or performing dental work
  - used, usually supplemented with intravenous sedation or general anesthesia
* means that the person is awake during surgery.
* minimizes the potential for complications.
* numbs just the area where the surgery is taking place
  - only the affected areas
  - the chest area and the incision is small
* produces a loss of sensation to a small specific area of the body.
* provides numbness to a small area limited to where local anesthetic is injected
