Anaesthetics are employed in tests and surgeries to block sensations in specific body areas or induce sleep. This helps prevent pain and discomfort, allowing various medical procedures to be performed. There are two common types of anaesthetics, Local Anaesthesia: which numbs a small area, and you stay fully conscious. Typically used for minor procedures. Also General Anaesthesia: which renders you completely unconscious and unaware during the procedure. Often utilised for more serious operations. Our expert witnesses below are available to provide their expert medico legal opinion on matters involving anaesthesia.
