How Does Anesthesia Work?
Local anesthetics block the nerves that connect a particular body part or region to the brain, preventing the nerves from carrying pain signals to your brain. This renders patients unconscious with no perception or memory of the surgery (though pain from the surgical procedure will be apparent once you wake up).
