There are four classic components to general anesthesia. These are amnesia, analgesia immobility and loss of consciousness, while the fifth component is autonomic stability. However, historically it was not clear that the newborn required general anesthesia when undergoing surgery. Since no one remembers anything from the first year of life irrespective of the use of anesthetics, for many years it was felt that anesthesia was simply not necessary.
