A CONCISE OVERVIEW OF ANESTHESIA

Anesthesia plays a vital role in modern surgical care by eliminating
pain, consciousness, and movement during invasive procedures. This
short communication provides a focused overview of anesthesia with
special emphasis on general anesthesia, including its triad, commonly
used drugs, phases, and stages. It also briefly introduces neuraxial and
regional anesthesia techniques, which serve as alternatives or adjuncts
to general anesthesia. A clear understanding of these concepts is
essential for safe clinical practice and optimal patient outcomes in
anesthesia management.
