    ANESTHESIA OVERVIEW
    STAGES OF GENERAL ANESTHESIA

    STAGE 1 (Amnesia): From induction of anesthesia to loss of conciousness (loss of eyelid reflex). Pain perception threshold is not lowered.

    STAGES OF GENERAL ANESTHESIA

    STAGE 2 (Delirium/Excitement): Characterized by uninhibited excitation. Pupils are dilated and eyes divergent. Agitation, delirium, irregular respiration, and breatholding are commonly seen. Potentially dangerous responses can occur during this stage including vomiting, laryngospasm, HTN, tachycardia, and uncontrolled movement.

    STAGE 3 (Surgical Anesthesia): Central gaze,constricted pupils, and regular respirations. Target depth of anesthesia is sufficient when painful stimulation does not elicit somatic reflexes or deleterious autonomic reflexes.
