- nitrous oxide

balanced anesthesia
higher level of general anesthesia produced by pre-anesthetic medication
basal anesthesia
a CNS state characterized by

- good peripheral analgesia, and
- altered consciousness
patients are dissociated from their environment

state in which there’s malleable rigidity of the limbs and the patient is generally unresponsive to stimuli; the animal tends to remain in any position of placement
catalepsy
trance resembling sleep from which the patient can be oblivious to pain, with or without hypnosis
