IV anesthetic, or intravenous anesthetic, is a type of anesthesia administered through a needle inserted into the patient's vein. It is commonly used in medical procedures and surgeries to induce unconsciousness and prevent pain during the procedure. IV anesthetic works quickly and can be adjusted by the anesthesia team based on the patient's response to the medication. It is considered a safe and effective way to manage pain and discomfort during medical procedures, but it can have potential side effects and risks, particularly when used on patients with certain medical conditions or in combination with other medications.
