4. General Anesthesia: a drug-induced reversible state of unconsciousness, it includes amnesia, analgesia, loss of responsiveness, decreased stress response, and loss of skeletal muscle reflexes to varying degree
5. Regional Anesthesia: an injection of local anesthetics near nerve fibers to cause reversible loss of sensation over an area of the body, common examples include spinal, epidural, and peripheral nerve blocks
6. Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC): when an anesthesia provider monitors the patient, administers sedatives and other agents as needed, and provides medical services as needed
7. Moderate Sedation: the administration of sedative, analgesic, and/or anxiolytic agents by a physician or under physician supervision. Depending on state laws and hospital policies, a perioperative nurse may be able to administer this type of anesthesia
8. Local Anesthesia: The infiltration or topical administration of agents to anes- thetize a part of the body. It is typically used for minor procedures, does not involve an anesthesia provider, and does not involve sedation. A perioperative nurse monitors the patient and provides supportive care if needed.
