These medications may be administered orally but are usually administered into a vein. Deep levels of sedation, where patients lose consciousness and respond only to painful touch, may be associated with the patient having difficulty breathing normally and their heart function may be affected. The anaesthetist is trained to manage these situations. General anaesthesia General anaesthesia involves putting a patient into a medication-induced state of carefully controlled unconsciousness. When the anaesthetic is deep enough, the patient will not respond to pain. It also includes changes in breathing and circulation. During a general anaesthetic, the anaesthetist is constantly monitoring the patient to manage the airway, blood circulation and general responses. This information is a guide and should not replace information supplied by your anaesthetist. If you have any questions about your anaesthesia, please speak with your treating specialist.
