Abstract
A successful GA is defined as a reversible combination of hypnosis, analgesia and suppression of reflex activity. In contemporary anaesthetic practices using a combination of drugs in a balanced manner, the traditional stages of anaesthesia may not be readily discernible. Inadequate GA can result in intraoperative awareness, while excessive dosage can cause delayed recovery and postoperative complications. Patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia using sevoflurane, who were eligible for the study according to the abovementioned eligibility criteria were included in the study. The study design, purpose, interventions, possible risks, adverse effects and possible outcomes were explained to each patient in his/her mother tongue and written consent was obtained. On comparing at all 3 settings of MAC, the study found positive correlation between both entropy levels, with statistical significance, thereby implying that the response entropy levels significantly increased with increase in the state entropy levels at all 3 different MAC settings.
