what is the difference between general anaesthesia (GA) and monitored anaesthetic care (MAC)?
In: 32
General anesthesia means you are completely unconscious, to the degree that you need a machine to help you breathe.
MAC is essentially blackout drunk. It’s often nicknamed “twilight anesthesia” because you’re in a stage between wakefulness and sleeping, and some people fall asleep during it while others remain awake the whole time. Most people get memory loss, but some people do remember being awake during the procedure.
