General Anaesthesia
General anaesthesia involves the administration of drugs to induce a reversible state of unconsciousness, immobility, and analgesia for surgical procedures. It ensures the patient remains unaware and pain-free during surgery. The process typically requires careful monitoring by an anaesthetist to maintain physiological stability and manage potential side effects.
