Abstract | Anaesthesia is the corner stone of modern surgical medicine. Despite a long period of enquire beginning with Snow (1847) anaesthesia remains a field in which there are more questions than answers. This thesis reports findings on threedifferent aspects of anaesthesia. The model is capable of producing five distinct EEG patterns (Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta and isoelectric) in response to different levels of hypnotic agent. The model is reactive capable of switching from Alpha to Beta band EEG when the eyes open. Anaesthetic supresses the models transition to a higher state EEG. The model suggest that the effect site for propofol as Alpha1 GABA A receptors of slow interneurons of the cortex. |
