Anesthesia can affect the parasympathetic nervous system by altering neurotransmitter levels and inhibiting the normal autonomic responses. Certain anesthetic agents can suppress vagal tone, which is responsible for regulating functions such as heart rate and digestion. This disruption can lead to side effects like reduced heart rate and gastrointestinal motility during and after surgery. Additionally, the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic activity may be altered, impacting overall autonomic function.
