Monitoring Anesthetic Brain States - General Considerations
General anesthesia is defined as a drug-induced reversible condition characterized by unconsciousness, amnesia, analgesia, immobility, and maintenance of physiological stability. Monitoring brain and behavioral states under general anesthesia is challenging, and the brain states of patients under general anesthesia are often tracked using physiologic signs and, at times, electroencephalography (EEG)-based markers of unconsciousness.
