| anaesthesia | <anaesthetics, neurology> The loss of feeling or sensation. Although the term is used for loss of tactile sensibility or of any of the other senses, it is applied especially to loss of the sensation of pain, as it is induced to permit performance of surgery or other painful procedures. Origin: Gr. Aisthesis = sensation (13 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| anaesthesia adjuvants | Agents that are administered in association with anaesthetics to increase effectiveness, improve delivery, or decrease required dosage. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaesthesia department, hospital | Hospital department responsible for the administration of functions and activities pertaining to the delivery of anaesthetics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaesthesia dolorosa | Severe spontaneous pain occurring in an anaesthetic area. Synonym: painful anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaesthesia machine | Equipment used for inhalation anaesthesia, including flowmeters, vaporisers, and sources of compressed gases, but not including the anaesthetic circuit or mechanisms for elimination of carbon dioxide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaesthesia record | A written account of drugs administered, procedures undertaken, and physiologic responses during the course of surgical or obstetrical anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaesthesia recovery period | The period of emergence from general anaesthesia, where different elements of consciousness return at different rates. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaesthesia, caudal | Epidural anaesthesia administered via the sacral canal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaesthesia, closed-circuit | Inhalation anaesthesia where the gases exhaled by the patient are rebreathed as some carbon dioxide is simultaneously removed and anaesthetic gas and oxygen are added so that no anaesthetic escapes into the room. Closed-circuit anaesthesia is used especially with explosive anaesthetics to prevent fires where electrical sparking from instruments is possible. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaesthesia, inhalation | Anaesthesia caused by the breathing of anaesthetic gases or vapors or by insufflating anaesthetic gases or vapors into the respiratory tract. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaesthesia, local | Anaesthesia confined to one part of the body. Infiltration anaesthesia produces local anaesthesia by deposition of a local anaesthesia solution in the area of small, terminal nerve endings. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acupuncture anaesthesia | Insertion of acupuncture needles at specific points in the body to block the afferent nerve impulses from reaching the brain, thus producing the loss of sensation of pain. The technique is used in performing surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| ambulatory anaesthesia | Anaesthesia provided on an outpatient basis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axillary anaesthesia | Loss of sensation in the distal two-thirds of the upper extremity following injection of a local anaesthetic solution about the nerve trunks in the axilla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| balanced anaesthesia | A technique of general anaesthesia based on the concept that administration of a mixture of small amounts of several neuronal depressants summates the advantages, but not the disadvantages of, the individual components of the mixture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal anaesthesia | Parenteral administration of one or more sedatives to produce a state of depressed consciousness short of a general anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| block anaesthesia | Regional anaesthesia in which local anaesthetic solution is injected about nerves to inhibit nerve transmission; includes spinal, epidural, nerve block, and field block anaesthesia, but not local or topical anaesthesia. Synonym: block anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brachial anaesthesia | Anaesthetization of an upper extremity by injection of local anaesthetic solution about the brachial plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| painful anaesthesia | Severe spontaneous pain occurring in an anaesthetic area. Synonym: painful anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paracervical block anaesthesia | Regional anaesthesia of the cervix uteri by injection of local anaesthetic solution into tissues adjacent to the cervix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| general anaesthesia | A form of anaesthesia that results in putting the patient to sleep. Total body anaesthesia. Origin: Gr. Aisthesis = sensation (27 Sep 1997) |
| rebreathing anaesthesia | A technique for inhalation anaesthesia in which a portion or all of the gases that are exhaled are subsequently inhaled after carbon dioxide has been absorbed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paravertebral anaesthesia | Anaesthesia by injection of local anaesthetic solution about nerves as they exit from the vertebral canal; combined presynaptic, postsynaptic, and ganglionic sympathetic block by injection of local anaesthetic solution about paravertebral sympathetic chains. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rectal anaesthesia | General anaesthesia produced by instillation into the rectum of a solution containing a central nervous system depressant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| girdle anaesthesia | Anaesthesia distributed as a band encircling the trunk. (05 Mar 2000) |
| refrigeration anaesthesia | Localised application of cold as a means of producing regional anaesthesia. Synonym: refrigeration anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Anaesthesia | loss of bodily sensation with or without loss of consciousness |
