Incidence of accidental awareness during general anaesthesia in obstetrics: a multicentre, prospective cohort study.

February 17, 2021

Odor PM, Bampoe S, Lucas DN, et al the Pan-London Peri-operative Audit and Research Network (PLAN), for the DREAMY Investigators Group. Anaesthesia. 2021;76(6):759-776.

Accidental patient awareness during anesthesia can result in significant patient distress and harm. This prospective cohort study, including 3,115 patients, identified high rates of accidental awareness during general anesthesia for obstetric surgery. In some patients, accidental awareness resulted in distressing experiences, paralysis, or a provisional diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder.
