What is "anesthesia"?
Anesthesia is the use of medications to block pain and sensation during medical procedures or surgeries. It can be given in different ways: locally, to numb a small area; regionally, to numb a larger area of the body; or generally, to put the patient into a sleep-like state where they are unaware of the procedure. Anesthesia helps ensure that patients are comfortable and do not feel pain during treatment.

The anesthesia wore off, and the patient slowly began to come back in and regain consciousness.
