Cellular biology is based on the fundamental laws of nature embodied in chemistry and physics whereas anesthesia can be broadly defined as a drug-induced reversible depression of the CNS resulting in loss of response to and perception of all external stimuli.1 Even more precise, clinical anesthesia can be depicted as a collection of five changes in perception—amnesia, analgesia, unconsciousness, attenuation of autonomic responses, and immobility. Hundreds of millions of patients receive anesthesia care each year, making this topic critical to sound patient care and clinical practice.
