Though general anaesthesia is quite similar from local anaesthesia, three important differences: areas where anaesthesia is applied, side effects, patient’s awareness.

       

     The first difference is acts on a different area. The person’s disease is very important for determining the type of anaesthesia to be applied. The patient feels no pain in the area with the disease. According to a great number of health expert, general anaesthesia is used by doctors in complex surgeries. Using general anaesthesia, the patients feel nothing in his body. According to another information, according to local anaesthesia, all body nerves are numbing general anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia is always used by doctors in small operations. Anaesthesia is given to the patient’s area to be treated and there is sensory loss there.
