Question
Chapter 16, Problem 2.3CT
Summary Introduction
Anesthetics are the drugs given to induce anesthesia, which is the temporary loss of sensation including pain. These drugs act on the brain or peripheral nervous system and suppress the responses to sensory stimulation inducing loss of sensation. Anesthetics are of two types – local and general anesthetics. Local anesthetics act only on a specific part of the body and cause temporary loss of sensation without affecting consciousness. Whereas, general anesthesia causes temporary loss of consciousness. General anesthetics can be given in the form of intravenous injections and sometimes as inhaling agents.
