The assessment of recovery following intravenous anaesthesia of short duration given for minor surgical procedures usually depends on the individual subjective response of each patient. After an arbitrary series of simple tests and questions the patient is judged fit to leave medical care, accompanied, and with the verbal admonition not to undertake responsible tasks or perform skilled work for 12 to 24 h.
