Abstract:
A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of anesthesia methods used in general medicine and dentistry has been carried out. The study highlights various methods of anesthesia, including general, regional and local anesthesia, as well as innovative methods such as computer-based monitoring of the depth of anesthesia and the use of ultrasound to accurately administer the anesthetic. In dentistry, local anesthesia is more often used, which minimizes pain and has fewer side effects. One of the key issues in anesthesiology is the effectiveness of anesthesia, which depends on many factors, including the type of surgery, the physiological characteristics of the patient, and economic components. The main sources of information for this work were scientific articles published in peer-reviewed medical journals. The main platforms for finding relevant literature were: PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar.
