Disease/Condition Glossary

General Anaesthesia: It is a medication given before surgery to put you to sleep so that you do not feel the pain as you are unconscious. It is more than sleep as the brain does not respond to the pain signals. A trained person who is specialized in anaesthesia generally gives the anesthesia as an intravenous infusion or injection form.
