Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
eTobb is not meant for medical educational purposes but I'll try to help you: when we say depressed reflex or response, it means the reflex/response is reduced and weakened but not completely gone; a suppressed reflex/response means that, under the effect of the anesthetic, this reflex/response can no longer be elicited.
