Accepted Answer

Awake during surgery: Sometimes, particularly during neurosurgery, it is necessary to check a response or function. In a wake up test the level of anesthesia is purposefully lightened to allow the patient to wake enough to respond. Pain is controlled with analgesics, or local anesthetics. After the response is checked, anesthesia is then increased, and the patient "goes back to sleep".
