As per medical science it refers to a process by which a patient loses his or her sensitivity to pain in order to undergo an operation.
Earlier, alcohol, opium or cloth soaked in anaesthesia was used.
In the 19th century, it was replaced by chloroform, ether and nitrous oxide.
Today desflurane, sevoflurane and isoflurane are the most widely used anaesthesia.
