What is the incidence of intra-operative awareness during general anesthesia in China?
The incidence of intra-operative awareness during general anesthesia in China is approximately 0.41%, which is higher than rates reported in Western countries.

May warrant heightened awareness monitoring in Chinese practice; leaves open whether differences reflect true incidence or detection methods.
The incidence of intra-operative awareness in China is approximately 0.41%, two to three times higher than that widely cited in Western countries. Inappropriately light anesthesia, and the population proportion of surgery and general anesthesia in China may account for the difference. (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier, NCT00693875.).
