title: [Long-lasting anaesthesia. Advantages of electroanaesthesia (author's transl)].
abstract: In a series of 15 anaesthesias lasting more than 8 hours, the authors completely replaced morphine-like drugs with the use of electric currents; the method used was that recommended by Professor Cara and his team. The low toxicity of this technique, alertness on waking and degree of post-operative analgesia are stressed; the possibility of mobilisation of naturally occurring morphine-like substances is raised, considering recent neurophysiological work. This leads the authors to refer to electric analgesia rather than electric anaesthesia.
