Before the inception of commercial depth-of-anaesthesia monitors using electrophysiological parameters from the brain, such as processed electroencephalography(EEG) and evoked potentials, we used to evaluate the balance between anaesthesia and surgical stress using multimodal information derived from several physiological monitors, including the electrocardiogram (ECG), indirect or direct blood pressure, pulse oximetry, body temperature, peripheral nerve stimulation, as well as pharmacokinetic assumptions. In addition, we used our own senses to see the colour of the skin and the blood; to touch the body and feel its temperature and whether it was sweating, and to assess peripheral circulation; to assess the pupils for anaesthetic/narcotic effects; and even to talk to a patient to determine response by body movement and postoperative recall [1, 2]. Although a major part of this evaluation is based on scientific logic, the rest rather belongs to some kind of ‘art’. Put another way, such art might be rephrased as ‘fuzzy logic’[3], which enables clinical decision-making using a mixture of positive, negative, and grey-zone signs of various physiological phenomena. Even in the present era of high-tech, computer-intensive EEG monitoring, we are still routinely required to make such decisions by integrating heterogeneous information during our clinical practice. Such an art remains indispensable in modern anaesthetic management, where multiple drugs are often administered to attempt to attain a balanced anaesthetic state, consisting of unconsciousness (or amnesia), antinociception, immobility, suppression of the stress response, and preserved homeostasis.
