Useful advice
Anesthesia is General and local. General – anesthesia, i.e., anesthesia with loss of consciousness. So, to say "under General anesthesia" is incorrect, as "local anesthesia" does not happen. The second type of local anesthesia i.e. local, partial, in which consciousness is fully preserved. If possible, operations under local anesthesia, it is better to choose it instead of anesthesia.
If before you had surgery and standard dose on you didn't work, be sure to tell your anesthesiologist!
Usually administered for anesthesia in two ways: intravenous and inhaled through a respiratory mask. Inhalation anesthesia is preferable, as it provides the sleep a smaller dose of the drug. The stronger dosage of anesthesia, the more likely complications. But don't believe the stories that the anesthesia "takes five years of your life" or "undermines the heart."
