Anesthesia is the controlled, reversible use of medications to prevent pain and awareness during surgery and other medical procedures. It allows patients to undergo operations safely and comfortably and is administered and monitored by trained professionals such as anesthesiologists and anesthetic teams. There are several types: general anesthesia produces unconsciousness and affects the whole body; regional anesthesia blocks sensation in a larger area, such as with spinal or epidural techniques; and local anesthesia numbs a small, specific site. The choice depends on the procedure, the patient's condition, and the balance of benefits and risks, and careful monitoring of vital functions is essential throughout. As a journal of Clinical Case Reports and Images, this title documents diverse clinical scenarios in which anesthesia and its agents feature, and related peer-reviewed work has examined anesthetic and analgesic topics, including the effect of neosaxitoxin on epidural anesthesia in an animal study, the use of a marine-derived toxin in managing joint complications, and the effects of a local anesthetic agent on neuronal cells. These contributions reflect the journal's broad engagement with anesthetic practice and perioperative care across surgical and clinical contexts. This page gathers open-access, peer-reviewed case reports and research relevant to anesthesia and its clinical application.
