Abstract

The state of anaesthesia is one of unconsciousness, lack of awareness, amnesia and reflex suppression to noxious stimuli. The depth of anaesthesia is generally considered adequate if the patient neither moves in response to surgical stimulus nor shows any signs of autonomic reflexes. Anaesthesia is generally considered inadequate if the patient has recall after surgery!
