Genuine Indian Induction

The most interesting thing about this induction is you can see that in real procedures the eyelids often never close at all. You can still tell the patient is anesthetized because the eyes are unfocused and unreactive.

For short procedures, rather than intubate the patient and taping shut the eyes, the patient may be simply ventilated thru the mask by hand, allowing the patient to be woken up quicker and easier by just turning off the anesthetic and nitrous oxide and ventilating with oxygen.

The patient is now unconscious - the eyes, though open, are unreactive and unfocused.
