There are four main types of anesthetics – conscious or intravenous sedation, regional anesthesia, local anesthesia and general anesthesia. Conscious or intravenous anesthesia uses a mild sedative to make you relaxed. You are awake in this type of anesthesia but do not remember anything about the procedure. Regional anesthesia blocks pain in an area of the body. Local anesthesia is used to numb a small area of the body. While you are being given the local anesthesia, you stay awake and alert. A general anesthesia acts on the entire body. You will sleep and feel nothing.
