Abstract
General anesthesia is a state during which the patient is rendered unconscious, accompanied by loss of perception of pain and attenuation of reflex responses. After awakening from most general anesthetics, the patient is unable to recall any details of the surgical procedure or the administration of the anesthetic. Unfortunately, on rare occasions, inadequate anesthesia during the operative procedure may result in episodes of consciousness and postoperative recall, a complication known as intraoperative awareness with recall.
