Abstract
The research presented in Memory and Awareness in Anesthesia (see record 1994-97080-000) requires the alliance of two previously disparate disciplines: anesthesiology and psychology. The result is an intriguing new area of research with significant potential to contribute to the neuroscientific study of learning and memory in the human brain as well as to the clinical care of surgery patients. The book provides a comprehensive overview of clinical empirical, theoretical, and methodological aspects of memory and awareness in anesthesia. The papers are presented by topic, although several of the papers are not well suited to these headings. There exist at least three fundamental methodological restrictions that significantly confine progress. First, the validity of techniques designed to assess the depth of anesthesia needs to be established. Second, the neural mechanisms of the chemical agents used to induce anesthesia need to be understood. Finally, the union of two previously disparate specialties has resulted in inconsistent (and often incorrect) use of nomenclature. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
