The reliability and validity of the Trieger tests as a measure of recovery from general anesthesia in a day-care surgery unit.
A group of 23 patients was investigated with the Trieger Test after general anesthesia. The reliability of the test was evaluated by the performance of a control group on four consecutive trials (F = 0.24). The validity of the test was demonstrated by an evaluation of the performance of patients 1½, 2½ and 3½ hours after anesthesia (F = 15.86, p < .0001).
