Process used to take patient from a state of consciousness to general anesthesia.

Anesthetic maintenance

Process used to keep patient under general anesthesia until recovery

Local anethesia

Loss of sensation in a localized body part or region inducef by the administration of a drug or other agent without loss of consciousness.

Premedication

Refers to the admisistration of an agent before induction of general anesthesia to calm and relax the patient, ease induction and recovery, minimize adverse effects, reduce the amount of general anesthesic needed, provide muscle relaxation, or pain control.
