Are intraoperative dreams reported after general anaesthesia associated with awareness?
Are intraoperative dreams reported after general anaesthesia associated with awareness?
Intraoperative dreams after general anaesthesia are associated with awareness but do not represent an early interpretation of delayed awareness.
Post-anesthesia dreams were associated with awareness; leaves open their role in detecting delayed awareness and requires prospective validation.
We found a statistically significant association between dreams reported after general anaesthesia and awareness, although intraoperative dreams were not an early interpretation of delayed awareness in any case. A typical dreamer in this study is a lean female having a short procedure.
