My husband remained in an unconscious state until approximately 2p.m. Thereafter, the doctors had to use general anaesthesia to intubate him as he struggled when they tried to do so without anaesthesia.

Should it be "a general anaesthetic" and "an anaesthetic" respectively instead?

Thanks.

Not necessarily, and in fact, in medical terminology anaesthesia (the British spelling) is much more likely to be used. I say this as a result of having trained for medical records keeping while a member of the U. S. Army Medical Corps.
