A member asked:
How deep of a sleep does electronarcosis induce? i read it has been implicated for use as anesthesia in surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very deep.: It is pretty deep, subcoma level. It is similar to the sleep state in electroconvulsive therapy and is usually administered in a hospital with an anesthesiologist with other doctors present.Yes, it is used in surgery.
