General anaesthetic is when you get put to sleep for surgery. It’s a lot more complicated than that, but the gist is there.

Monitored Anaesthesia Care is where you have local or regional anaesthesia, with an anaesthetist supporting you to ensure you are comfortable, using sedatives and analgesics.
