General anaesthesia can be divided into the main components hypnosis, antinociception and stability of the autonomous nerve system. The analgesic component can only be monitored by the influence on the autonomous nerve system (increase in heart rate, blood pressure, tearing) or the hypnotic component. Surgery-induced changes of the anaesthetized patient are reflected by changes of the AEP and EEG. During anaesthesia, the somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) change with different levels of analgesia. Increasing levels of sedation also induce changes of the pain-evoked potential.
