What are the chances of experiencing anaesthesia awareness?
11 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
1 or 2 out of 10,000: medical procedures involving anesthesias per the American Society of Anesthesiologists. If you think you are experiencing anesthesia awareness during a procedure tell your physician anesthesiologist or health care team as soon as possible. Address these concerns with the team before you undergo anesthesia. Good luck!
