Recovery from anaesthesia may be defined as a state of consciousness of an individual when he is awake or easily arousal and aware of his surroundings and identity.
Awakening results from elimination of anaesthetic agents from the brain. Glasgow Coma Scale originally developed to assess prognosis after head trauma and can also be used to ascertain the level of consciousness after anaesthesia.
A score above 12 indicates return of consciousness in most patients and score below 8 indicates coma.
