Anaesthesia

The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.[1] The pumped blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body, while carrying metabolic waste such as carbon dioxide to the lungs.[2] In humans, the heart is approximately the size of a closed fist and is located between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest Function he endocardium, which is primarily made up of endothelial cells, controls myocardial function.

Stages of general anesthesia • Stadium analgesiae (analgesia and sedation stage) • Stadium excitationis (excitation stage) • Stadium anaesthesiae chirurgicae (anesthesia for surgery) • Stadium paralysis respirationis (intoxication, respiratory arrest)

Anaesthesia (without sensation) is a state of controlled, temporary loss of sensation or awareness that is induced for medical purposes. It may include: - analgesia (relief from or prevention of pain) - paralysis (muscle relaxation) - amnesia (loss of memory), or unconsciousness 1.General anaesthesia (GA) is the state produced when a patient receives medications to produce amnesia and analgesia with or without reversible muscle paralysis. 2. Agents that produce general anaesthesi...
