| | Local anesthesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Local anesthesia is any technique to render part of the body insensitive to pain without affecting consciousness. | | | For purposes of pain therapy, local anesthetic drugs are often given by repeated injection or continuous infusion through a catheter. | | | Since then, several synthetic local anesthetic drugs have been developed and put into clinical use, notably lidocaine in 1943, bupivacaine in 1957 and prilocaine in 1959. |

| | Sometimes local or regional anaesthesia is used in addition to a general anaesthetic (i.e., in patients who are asleep during surgery). | | | Local or regional anaesthesia can often be used to prevent pain during surgery. | | | Regional anaesthesia means blocking the nerve supply to part of the body, such as an arm, so the patient cannot feel pain in that area. |

| | Anaesthesia - local, regional, general anaesthetic & complications |
| | Anaesthesia is one of the most significant developments of modern medicine because it allows once-unbearable medical procedures to be performed while the patient is relaxed and asleep. | | | He or she gives a variety of drugs that have different effects with the overall aim of ensuring you are soundly unconscious, will have no memory of the operation (amnesia) and suffer no pain (analgesia). | | | However, most of the work of an anaesthetist is in preparing hospital patients for surgery, then monitoring their condition during the operation. |

| | Local anaesthetics and other drugs are used for these procedures to reduce or block pain and other sensations over a wider region of the body. | | | Anaesthesia is usually considered to be a more intense blockage of all sensations, including muscle movement. | | | Spinal anaesthesia is given using a much thinner needle in the same location of the back where an epidural block is placed. |

| | Anaesthesia - General, Regional or Local |
| | During general anaesthesia, your Anaesthetist keeps you in a state of carefully controlled unconsciousness, with a mixture of very potent drugs, so that the operation is painless. | | | Regional anaesthesia involves injecting local anaesthetics through a needle, which the Anaesthetist places close to the nerve or nerves supplying the region of the body involved in the operation. | | | Local anaesthetic drugs stop nerves from working temporarily, so that no sensation and / or movement in the area of the body supplied by the nerve(s) occurs. |
