There are three main types of anaesthesia:

General anaesthesia is used for procedures that require the patient to be unconscious, while regional anaesthesia numbs only a specific part of the body. Local anaesthesia is used for minor procedures, and it numbs only a small area of the body.  

• How is anaesthesia administered?  

Anaesthesia can be administered through injection, inhalation, or a combination of both. The method of administration depends on the type of anaesthesia and the patient's medical condition.  

• What are the side effects of general anaesthesia?  

General anaesthesia is commonly safe, but there are some potential side effects, including nausea and vomiting, a sore throat, confusion, and muscle aches. In rare cases, more serious side effects, such as allergic reactions or damage to the vocal cords, may occur.  

• What should a patient expect after surgery under anaesthesia? 

After surgery, the patient will be monitored in a recovery room until the effect of anaesthesia wears off and patient is vitally stable.
