Abstract

The measure went of anaesthetic depth during surgical anaesthesia has always been an inexact science where the experience of the anaesthetist is called upon to provide the control of drug administration. The anaesthetist has to maintain the patient at a suitable level of sedation by carefully controlling several anaesthetic drugs so that the surgical procedure can proceed without causing awareness in the patient. There have been many publications on the subject that have shed much light on the subject and which has as a result improved the control of anaesthetic depth.
