Local Anesthesia
This type of anesthesia is administered by spray, injection or as an ointment. The surgical area alone is made numb. It is mainly used for outpatient procedures such as hand or foot surgery.
-
Regional Anesthesia
This is a form of anesthesia used to numb a particular portion of the body, for instance, epidural or spinal anesthesia or nerve block anesthesia.
-
General Anesthesia
This form of anesthesia allows a specific procedure or surgery to be performed on the patient while they are unconscious. Vital signs and organ functions will be closely monitored during this period of time. Pain medication will be administered to reduce the body’s stress responses to surgery. This helps speed up recovery after surgery.
Patients will be transferred to a recovery room or an intensive care unit once the procedure is completed.
