Title: Method for administering a dissociative, unconscious type of anesthesia

Abstract: A method and system of administering a dissociative unconscious type of anesthesia are disclosed. The method and system are designed for use in office surgical units and outpatient facilities. Administration by a nurse or a physician without anesthesia training can be done with minimum danger to the patient and minimum recovery time. The method and system utilizes the intravenous titration method of administration of a combination of drugs by which the patient is placed in a dissociative, unconscious state and maintained in this state until completion of the procedure, at which time the effect of the drugs is reversed by other drugs as desired. The intravenous anesthesia is supported by infiltration of a local anesthetic, such as Xylocaine. The combination of drugs include the basal hypnotic diazepam (Valium), a dissociated unconsciousness and general analgesia phencyclidine (Ketamine) and the narcotic analgesic Nisentil. The effects of the anesthetic can be reversed by the person administering the anesthesia as soon as their desired purpose has been accomplished.
