  • Title: Interfaces of sleep and anesthesia.
    Author: Mashour GA, Pal D.
    Journal: Anesthesiol Clin; 2012 Jun; 30(2):385-98. PubMed ID: 22901616.
    Abstract:
    In the past decades there has been an increasing focus on the relationship of sleep and anesthesia. This relationship bears on the fundamental scientific questions in anesthesiology, such as the mechanism of anesthetic-induced unconsciousness. However, given the increasing prevalence of sleep disorders in surgical patients, the interfaces of sleep and anesthesia are now a pressing clinical concern. This article discusses sleep and anesthesia from the perspective of phenotype, mechanism and function, with some concluding thoughts on the relevance to neuroanesthesiology.
