Abstract

The state of anaesthesia has proved to be difficult to define, but certain features would be agreed on widely. For example, the principal concern of the surgeon will be to ensure no movement of the patient during the procedure. In contrast, the major concern of the patient is to remain oblivious of any events during surgery and to recover with minimum pain or emesis after the procedure. Considerable distress may be caused to patients who are completely aware and who experience pain during surgery. Reports from patients who suffered this experience provide a dramatic insight into the trauma involved [1, 2].
