Anaesthesiology


Overview

Anaesthesiology, anaesthesia or anaesthetics is the medical speciality that focuses on perioperative medicine and the administration of anaesthesia.

One of the fundamental practices of anaesthesiologists is that of general anaesthesia in which a person is placed in a medical coma. This is performed to permit surgery without the individual responding to pain (analgesia) during surgery.

If general anaesthesia is not necessary, then regional anaesthesia can be performed to induce analgesia in a region of the body. For example, epidural administration of a local anaesthetic is commonly performed on the mother during childbirth to reduce the pain while permitting the mother to be awake and active in labor & delivery (general anaesthesia would not permit this).
