Generally anesthesia is defined as the agent given for making people unconscious or putting somebody to the sleep. Anesthesia is the world derived from the Greek, which means (an-without, and aesthesia-sensation). Anesthesia is defined as making somebody senseless or to make people not feel pain or making somebody senseless for certain period for the medicinal usage. Anesthesia is even described as “reversible lack of awareness”. Which means that the effect of anesthesia is reversible, i.e., patient gets back to sense after some period of time and the effects the awareness of the patient for certain moments only. " According to one definition"anesthesia is the induction of a balanced state of unconsciousness, accompanied by the absence of pain sensation and the paralysis of skeletal muscle over the entire body."
There are various purposes for the giving of the anesthesia, but solely it is given for the surgical procedures. Anesthesia is meant to reduce the pain and let patient feel no sensation of pain. The purposes of anesthesia would be:
1.Analgesia, or pain relief
2.Amnesia, or loss of memory of the procedure
3.Loss of consciousness
4.Motionlessness
5.Weakening of automatic responses.
Since performing surgery tends to generate lots of pain and tend to be frightening to patient. It also needs motionless and less response from the automatic responses as well to have a good surgery. So anesthesia is given to facilitate good surgical procedure.
