Medical anesthesia can be divided into two types:
- First: general or total anesthesia.
- Second: local anesthesia, and partial and half.
General or total anesthesia is the one that directly affects the brain, ie, the central nervous system, resulting in a complete loss of sensation throughout the body.
The anesthetic moves to the deep state of sleep and receives complete muscle relaxation.
This type is used in large hospitals equipped with modern anesthesia machines.
It is used by specialists in anesthesia.
Non-specialist physicians may not use general anesthesia for the complications that may lead to rapid loss of human life.
And the patient is asleep does not feel the irritation of the pain and his muscles relaxed.
The local anesthesia, which causes the loss of sense in a limited area of the body, because the drug affects the nerve closes the road leading to the brain, the patient loses pain sensation in this part.
Where a local anesthetic is injected into the area where the procedure is performed, resulting in anesthesia of a small part of the body.
There is also in some references the so-called peripheral anesthesia; which is a type of anesthesia; as the patient also loses sensation in a specific area in his body, and muscles in that region is relaxed, and the model known and most prevalent of this type is epidural anesthesia, which spreads in The lower part of the body only.
In local anesthesia, the patient remains aware of what is around him.
The local anesthetic is placed on the place where the sensation is to be removed, or injected around the nerve, feeding the desired area.
Doctors use local anesthesia to perform eye, nose, mouth and skin operations.
It is also possible to distinguish another type of previous species known as spinal anesthesia, a type in which a whole area of the body is anesthetized, the lower region, and this type of anesthesia by injecting local anesthetic, inside the fluid spinal cord, through the hole located, between Lumbar.
Resulting in loss of the lower parts of the body sensation of pain, while the patient remains conscious.
This type of anesthesia was introduced by the Swiss physician Pierre, in 1899, which is used frequently in childbirth and during operations on the legs.
