Usually the reason for undressing has less to do with the anesthesia and more to do with maintaining sterility in the operating room (where most anesthesia takes place) Street clothes have germs, OR staff can't wear them in and neither can the patients, sterility is your friend. Also, while undergoing anesthesia, cardiac monitors need to be applied to the chest. The head, neck and arms all must be bare and accessible for monitors intubation and respiratory support and IV's. In certain surgeries or for extended surgery a foley catheter may be inserted to drain the bladder.
