"Awareness During Anesthesia" (research paper)

"Awareness During Anesthesia" refers to a rare condition where a patient under general anesthesia becomes conscious of their surroundings, possibly experiencing pain or emotional distress, while still unable to move or communicate. It highlights the importance of monitoring anesthesia depth to prevent such incidents, which can cause psychological trauma. The research explores factors influencing awareness, methods for detection, and ways to improve patient safety by minimizing these occurrences during surgery. Overall, it aims to better understand and prevent intraoperative awareness to ensure patients remain unconscious and comfortable throughout medical procedures.
