Abstract
When ether and chloroform were used as general anesthetics more than 70 years ago, the main goal of general anesthesia was to lose consciousness. This was because it was believed that if the patient was unconscious, he or she would not feel anxious about the procedure and would not remember any intraoperative pain. However, it has recently become clear that even if the patient is unconscious during anesthesia, nociceptive receptors sense the stimulus of tissue damage and release painful and inflammatory substances such as prostaglandins.
