Anesthesia in Clinical Settings

Anesthesia is the temporary induction of a state of loss of awareness or sensation to primarily achieve hypnosis, analgesia, and muscle relaxation. Various drugs such as general anesthetics, analgesics, and neuromuscular-blocking drugs are used for anesthesia, targeting different parts of the nervous system. While anesthesia itself is not a treatment, it plays a crucial role in facilitating other medical procedures that would otherwise be too painful for the patient.

An essential aspect of anesthesia is risk assessment, which is vital for minimizing the potential risks associated with anesthesia. This pre-operative procedure involves a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests to gather information about any existing medical conditions or genetic disorders that may impact the anesthesia process.

This book provides an overview of the latest advancements in clinical anesthesia, exploring their applications and implications in detail. It features contributions from experts and scientists, offering innovative insights into the field of anesthesia. Researchers and students studying anesthesia will find valuable assistance from the information presented in this book.
