For a long time in medicine there is debate about the dangers of anesthesia, and here we can say only one thing: it all depends on the skill of the anesthesiologist of each patient. But General anesthesia, no doubt, has a negative impact on the body, possible failures in the functioning of the heart and lungs during surgery.
Features of some varieties of anesthesia
Regional anesthesia can be conduction, epidural, spinal. Local anesthesia is aimed at disabling the nerve endings in a particular area of the body, the most obvious example – shots of the dentist, allowing to safely clean the tooth.
General anesthesia is accompanied by complicated operations, during which the patient is not supposed to feel anything.
