General anesthesia is the induction of a balanced state of unconsciousness, accompanied by the absence of pain sensation and the paralysis of skeletal muscle over the entire body.
General anesthesia is, essentially, a medically induced coma, not sleep. Drugs render a patient unresponsive and unconscious. General anesthetics are normally administered intravenously (IV) or inhaled. Under general anesthesia, the patient is unable to feel pain and may also have amnesia. The drugs will be administered by an anesthesiologist, a specially trained doctor who will also monitor a patient's vital signs and rate of breathing during the procedure.
