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.
在一系列持续超过8小时的15次麻醉中，作者使用电流完全替代了类吗啡药物；所采用的方法是卡拉教授及其团队推荐的。强调了该技术的低毒性、苏醒时的警觉性和术后镇痛程度；考虑到近期的神经生理学研究成果，提出了调动内源性类吗啡物质的可能性。这使得作者提及电镇痛而非电麻醉。
