So depending on the types of anesthetics, it can affect their heart rate. It can affect their blood pressure. It can affect different types of blood flow, right? So when the blood pressure goes down, it can affect the blood flow to the brain, to the heart.

We care about all the organs, but really the brain and the heart are the two most important organs that we really think about because we don't want too little oxygen to be in the brain or the heart. So once the anesthesia enters the system, it's essentially just going in the bloodstream, traveling all across the body, and then being metabolized.

It can be metabolized by the kidneys, the liver, and then inhaled anesthetics are metabolized through the lungs, and then you breathe them out.

So anesthesia in general creates this very relaxing effect, right? So it creates a slowing down of your nervous system. So you have your parasympathetic nervous system and your sympathetic nervous system. Your sympathetic is your Fight or flight, right? So you're go, go, going. Anesthesia essentially relaxes the body. So it can help decrease the heart rate.

It can help decrease the blood pressure and create a relaxation in the brain as well. So when you're awake, your brain waves are going fast, right? So they're just kind of go, go, going at a higher speed.

Yeah. So the waves are just going super fast. And then when you get anesthesia, IV or inhaled anesthesia, the brain waves come down. They're slower and they're more relaxed. And it just kind of creates the zen sort of mode for the brain or like an airplane mode, right, where things are just kind of low energy and able to be relaxed. And during that induced coma or controlled coma phase,

significant surgical incisions or surgical stimulus can be done without the brain and the body feeling it.
