Anesthesia

Anesthesia is a unique intervention, in that it does not offer any particular benefit, rather it allows others to do things that might be beneficial. The best anesthetic, therefore is the one with the lowest risk to the patient that still achieves the end points required to complete the procedure. Muscles will also contract under anesthetic making surgical procedures impossible. Since the needs of anesthesia are multifaceted, so are the end points which are traditionally described as hypnosis (medically meaning unconsciousness and amnesia), analgesia and muscle relaxation. To reach multiple end points one or more drugs are commonly used (such as general anesthetics, hypnotics, sedatives, paralytics, narcotics and analgesics) each of which serves a specific purpose in creating a safe anesthetic.
