However, that need not be the case. Recently it has been argued that we might encounter hysteresis to changes in the state of consciousness, known as neural inertia. This phenomenon has been debated in neuroanesthesia, as manipulation of the brain might further influence recovery of consciousness. The present study is aimed at assessing hysteresis between induction and emergence under propofol-opioid neuroanesthesia in humans using estimated propofol concentrations in both spinal and intracranial surgeries.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We identified the moments of loss (LOR) and recovery of responsiveness (ROR) in 21 craniotomies and 25 spinal surgeries. Propofol was given slowly until loss of responsiveness and stopped at the end of surgery. An opioid was present at induction and recovery. Propofol infused was recorded and plasma and effect-site concentrations were estimated using 2 pharmacokinetic models. Dose-response curves were generated. Estimated propofol plasma and effect-site concentrations were compared to assess hysteresis.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Estimated propofol concentrations at LOR and ROR showed hysteresis.

Manipulation of the brain does not appear to change patterns of hysteresis, suggesting that neural inertia may occur in humans, in a way similar to that found in animal species. These findings justify performing a clinical study in patients using measured propofol concentrations to assess neural inertia.<\/jats:p>\n
