Description
In many cases per year in the United States alone, patients recall the events of surgery. Awareness during general anesthesia is a complication feared by both patients and clinicians alike. This complication reflects our inability to distinguish between consciousness and unconsciousness in a patient who is pharmacologically paralyzed. This book addresses the clinical aspects of awareness, the underlying brain science of consciousness, and the philosophical implications of both.
