Figure 9. Hypnograms for emergence from general anesthesia and sleep.

Figure 9

Temporal evolution of stages of arousal during emergence from general anesthesia (GA) are plotted in the left column, and from sleep in the right column. Each GA hypnogram on the left reflects an identified Emergence Trajectory as defined earlier in the text. These trajectories might be loosely correlated with arousal trajectories from various stages of sleep that are placed immediately to the right. SWA  =  Slow-Wave Anesthesia, NSWA  =  Non Slow-Wave Anesthesia; NREM  =  non-REM sleep, REM  =  REM sleep.
