describe briefly phases of anesthesia such as induction,maintainance

1 answer

The induction phase of anesthesia involves administering medication to rapidly put the patient to sleep and relieve any anxiety or discomfort. This is typically done through an intravenous injection or inhalation of gas. Once the patient is unconscious, the maintenance phase begins, during which the anesthesia is continuously monitored and adjusted to keep the patient in a controlled state of unconsciousness and pain relief. The goal of the maintenance phase is to keep the patient safe and comfortable throughout the procedure. Maintenance may involve the use of a combination of drugs, including anesthetic agents, pain medications, and muscle relaxants.
