General anaesthesia: During this procedure, one becomes irresponsive to pain or other stimuli. Operations involving the head, chest, or abdomen, as well as more invasive surgical procedures, require the use of general anaesthesia.
Local anaesthesia: A portion of the body is made to feel numb by this procedure. The use of local anaesthesia may be employed during operations like skin biopsies, dental work, and cataract surgery.The procedure will be carried out when one is conscious.
Regional anaesthesia: It numbs a larger area of the body, such as a limb or anything below the chest, from discomfort. In addition to the local anaesthetic, you can choose to be sedated during the surgery or remain awake. A spinal anaesthesia for hip or knee surgery, an epidural to lessen childbirth or C-section pain, or an arm block for hand surgery are a few examples.
Sedation: You become more at ease during sedation, allowing for a more natural slumber, but you are still readily disturbed or aroused. If the individual doing your treatment has received expertise in providing moderate sedation, they can prescribe light sedation alone or in conjunction with a normal nurse. Cardiac catheterization and various colonoscopies are examples of procedures carried out under light or moderate sedation. Because the heavier anaesthetic drugs may impair your ability to breathe, an expert in anaesthesia will administer deep sedation. Deep sedation, on the other hand, will put you to sleep faster than light or moderate sedation. You won’t be completely unconscious, but you won’t be as likely to remember what happened.
