Where is anesthesia injected in your body and does it matter where the anesthesia injected according the the surgery that is going to be taken on you?

It depends what part of the body needs to be put to sleep.
Usually arms, belly, & major arteries. Or sometimes they use pills, or they actually use an anesthesia lotion or spray and put it on the skin. Like I said it depends.

I could be wrong, but every time I have had surgery, they put a oxygen mask on my face, and I breathed the anesthesia in. It was in a gas form. Maybe different hospitals do it differently. I live in the United States. I don’t know if that makes a difference. Anesthesia is what makes you ‘fall asleep’ so you do not feel pain during the surgery. Are you possibly talking about what they inject you with to numb the area? Because in a case like that, it does depend on what and where you are having surgery. If they are just injecting you with novacaine, or something like that to make the body part go numb, then they will not use anesthesia. Because you will be conscious during the surgery. There would be no need for it. Usually when they use anesthesia, it is because the surgery is so major, that just numbing the area will not alleviate enough pain.
