Anesthesia (General)

Thumbnail image for "Anesthesia (General)"

General anesthesia makes a person unconscious. People call this "put under" or "put to sleep." But it isn't the same as regular sleep. A person given general anesthesia cannot feel pain. And, the person won't remember what happens during a medical procedure.
