anaesthesia
Noun 1. Loss of bodily sensation: A state in which a person loses the feeling of touch, pain, temperature, or other physical sensations in part or all of the body. This can occur with or without a loss of consciousness. * The medical procedure requires general anaesthesia, so the patient will be completely unconscious and feel no pain. * Local anaesthesia numbs only a specific area of the body, allowing the patient to remain awake during minor surgery.
