Anesthesia may trigger sleep-and-coma brain states, Yale study suggests

Yale scientists used full-head EEG to monitor patients under propofol anesthesia and found the brain can enter states that resemble both sleep and coma, challenging the idea that anesthesia is simply deep sleep. The findings could guide better, individualized anesthesia care to minimize postoperative cognitive effects and push toward a sleep-like brain state during procedures.
