What can be done to prevent awareness? As with all aspects of anesthesia practice, attention to detail is the key; a checklist based approach may help to achieve this. Muscle relaxants compound the risk of anesthetic underdosing by preventing the patient’s ability to signal distress.
Aug 14, 2019 · The ability to sensitively and specifically distinguish between the different possible consciousness states of anesthesia, namely unconsciousness, disconnected consciousness, and connected consciousness, in addition to the ability of predicting implicit or explicit recall would be ideal.
