anesthesias
Medically induced insensibility
Anesthesias is the plural of anesthesia, the medically induced loss of sensation or consciousness.
Different anesthesias serve different purposes: general anesthesia renders a patient completely unconscious, while local anesthesias numb specific areas.
The surgeon discussed which anesthesias would be appropriate for the procedure.
