Can you tell me about general anaesthetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definition: General anesthesia involves causing a loss of consciousness through the use of a combination of medications. Some of these medications are given through an IV and some are gases. In most cases, a breathing tube will be used (or other special breathing device). If you have more specific questions, please submit another question. http://hubpages.com/hub/Insiders-Guide-to-General-Anesthesia
