[Changes of brain electric activity under general anaesthesia (author's transl)]. 1980

L Grabow, and N Pyhel

The comparison of the influence of HAL, NLA and EHA on the electrical activity of the brain by help of a vigilo-somnogram shows equal directed curves. That is to say that the effect of general anesthesia is to be seen in a inhibition of the central nervous system, from which in the first line the orienting reticular system and pain processing centres of the limbic system are concerned. It has to be emphasized that the sleep-EEG and the EEG of general anaesthesia have a certain similarity but no identity; so the sleep state of the EEG should not be transferred to the anaesthesia states.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009458	Neuroleptanalgesia	A form of analgesia accompanied by general quiescence and psychic indifference to environmental stimuli, without loss of consciousness, and produced by the combined administration of a major tranquilizer (neuroleptic) and a narcotic.	Neuroleptoanalgesia
D010551	Personality	Behavior-response patterns that characterize the individual.	Personalities
D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D004569	Electroencephalography	Recording of electric currents developed in the brain by means of electrodes applied to the scalp, to the surface of the brain, or placed within the substance of the brain.	EEG,Electroencephalogram,Electroencephalograms
D004580	Electronarcosis	Profound stupor produced by passing an electric current through the brain.	Anesthesia, Electric,Electric Anesthesia,Electroanesthesia,Electrosleep,Anesthesias, Electric,Electric Anesthesias,Electroanesthesias,Electronarcoses
D006221	Halothane	A nonflammable, halogenated, hydrocarbon anesthetic that provides relatively rapid induction with little or no excitement. Analgesia may not be adequate. NITROUS OXIDE is often given concomitantly. Because halothane may not produce sufficient muscle relaxation, supplemental neuromuscular blocking agents may be required. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p178)	1,1,1-Trifluoro-2-Chloro-2-Bromoethane,Fluothane,Ftorotan,Narcotan
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults
D000367	Age Factors	Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.
