Therapeutic Potential of Anesthesiology for Sleep Disorders in the Perioperative Period
Abstract
Sleep is important to maintain normal physiological functions of the human body. With increased stress in modern society, the number of patients suffering from sleep disorders is gradually increasing. Many studies have shown that general anesthetics induce loss of consciousness by acting on the sleep-wake circuit. In recent years, general anesthesia and other anesthetic agents have been used in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. This article discusses the mechanism of sleep and sleep disorders, summarizes the effects of anesthetics on sleep and their regulatory mechanisms, and reviews the research progress of using anesthetics in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.
