Chicago: A new US research said recently that general anaesthesia is more like a reversible drug-induced coma, instead of a deep sleep.
The research findings could lead to better treatments for coma and better anaesthesia.
“General anaesthesia is pharmacological coma, not sleep,” said a member of the research team.
He said while physicians and patients commonly describe general anaesthesia as going to sleep, there are differences between the states, with only a bit of overlap between the deepest states of sleep and the very lightest phases of anaesthesia.
