5 Answers
General
Regional
These two are most common.
As far as patient is concerned, local and general. Local can be only skin deep or nerve deep. For the other answer, I advise studying medicine
There are 3 great types of anesthesia:
Num 1- Local - Usually given by surgeon
Num 2- Regional - Epidural; spinal; regional blocks of extremities, etc.
Num 3- General - Could be intubated...geta
Or by mask or LMA laringeal mask.
General Local, IV sedation
