General Anesthesia
A drug-induced loss of consciousness during which patients are not arousable, even by painful stimulation.
![Page 3: Awareness in Anesthesia Finalised](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081717/553491094a7959ae4b8b4b25/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
General Anesthesia
Main components:
Hypnosis ( unconsciousness) Analgesia (decreasing pain) Amnesia (preventing recall) Muscle relaxation (preventing movement) Physiologic support (maintaining respiratory and cardiovascular function, fluid management, electrolyte control, and thermoregulation )

Stages of Anaesthesia
• Stage I : Stage of analgesia or disorientation: Beginning of induction of general anesthesia to LOC.
• Stage II : Stage of excitement or delirium : From LOC to onset of automatic breathing. Eyelash reflex dissapears but other reflexes remain intact( cough, vomit, struggling)
![Page 6: Awareness in Anesthesia Finalised](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081717/553491094a7959ae4b8b4b25/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Stage III (Stage of Surgical Anesthesia) : 4planes - Plane 1 : Onset of automatic respiration →
cessation of eyeball movement Eyelid reflex lost, swallowing reflex disappears, marked eyeball movement may occur.
- Plane 2 : cessation of eye movement → beginning of intercostal muscles paralysis
laryngeal reflex lost, corneal reflex disappears, tear secretion ↑, resp is automatic & regular, movement & deep breathing a a response to skin stimulation disappear.

- Plane 3 : Beginning to completion of intercostal musc paralysispupils dilated, light reflexes abolished desired plane for surgery when musc paralysis were not used.
- Plane 4 : Complete intercostal paralysis → diaphragmatic paralysis
Stage IV : Stoppage of respiration till death. Medullary paralysis with resp arrest and vasomotor collapse.Pupils widely dilated, musc are paralysed.

Incidence of Awareness
0.1-0.2 % of all adult patients undergoing GA
0.8-1.2% children
20 000 to 40 000 of the 20 million GA patients
33% of those patients develop serious psychological sequelae

Definitions
• Consciousness
• Memory and Awareness
![Page 10: Awareness in Anesthesia Finalised](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081717/553491094a7959ae4b8b4b25/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Consciousness
A state in which a patient is able to process information from surroundings.
Assessed by purposeful responses:
• Following voice commands
• Response to noxious stimuli
![Page 11: Awareness in Anesthesia Finalised](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081717/553491094a7959ae4b8b4b25/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Memory
Classifications:
Explicit (or conscious) memory refers to conscious recollection of previous experiences, equivalent to “remembering”.Implicit memory refers to the changes in performance or behavior that are produced by previous experiencewithout any conscious recollection of those experiences.
AWARENESS used to describe explicit memory during Anaesthesia.

Perceptions of AwarenessMost common
• Sounds and conversation• Sensation of paralysis• Anxiety and panic• Helplessness and powerlessness• Pain
Least common• Visual perceptions• Intubation or tube• Feelings operation without pain
![Page 13: Awareness in Anesthesia Finalised](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081717/553491094a7959ae4b8b4b25/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Michigan Awareness Classification
• Class I – isolated auditory perceptions• Class 2- tactile perceptions (perception of surgical
manipulation or endotracheal tube)• Class 3- pain• Class 4 –paralysis• Class 5- paralysis and pain• D- associated with distress (report of fear, anxiety,
suffocation, sense of doom, or sense of impending death)

Detection of Awareness
• Clinical signs• IFT• Lower oesophageal contractility• Frontalis EMG• Respiratory sinus arrhythmia• MAC value• EEG
– Raw EEG– Processed EEG
• BiS• AEP
![Page 20: Awareness in Anesthesia Finalised](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081717/553491094a7959ae4b8b4b25/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

• poor indicator of depth of anaesthesia.• haemodynamic responsiveness to noxious
stimuli does not necessarily signify awareness, nor does lack of haemodynamic changes guarantee unconsciousness.
![Page 22: Awareness in Anesthesia Finalised](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081717/553491094a7959ae4b8b4b25/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Isolated Forearm Technique (IFT)
• First used by Tunstall• Isolate forearm with BP cuff before giving NMB• Patients asked to squeeze hand for ‘Yes’• Limitations: non-specific subtle movement; surgery
on the hand; heard command, couldn’t move.• Even when patients responded, rarely did they have
any memory of this after the operation

EEG

BiS (Bispectral Index Monitoring)
• Direct measure of the effects of anaesthetics on the brain
• BIS monitoring allows anaesthesia providers to administer the appropriate amount of drug that each patient needs
![Page 25: Awareness in Anesthesia Finalised](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081717/553491094a7959ae4b8b4b25/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Definition : BIS uses a proprietary algorithm to convert a single channel of frontal EEG into an index of hypnotic level, ranging from 100 – 0 (isoelectric EEG)

Bis Number
Relatives contributors to BIS number :- Time domain analysis ( β wave activity; burst
suppression)- Frequency domain analysis ( as ↑depth
anaesthesia – move from low freq high amp – high frequency low amp), spectral edge freq.
- Bispectral analysis – look at the phase relationships between different frequencies

Minimum Alveolar Concentration
For assurance of lack of awareness..
• Opioid + N2O + Volatile agent >0.6• Volatile agent only >0.8

Modified Brice Interview
1. What is the last thing you remember before surgery?
2. What is the first thing you remember after surgery?
3. Do you remember anything happening during surgery?
4. Did you have any dreams during surgery?
5. What is the worst thing about your surgery?

Dealing with patients who have a history of Awareness during Anaesthesia
• Take patient seriously• Document patient’s exact memory• Attempt to confirm validity of account• Investigate previous anaesthetic technique & circumstances• Comorbidity / medications• Patient anaesthetic records / theatre circumstances• Try to determine cause• Reassure• Postop visit• Keep a copy of records• Offer psychological support• Intraop ET agent monitoring / BiS• Sedative premed

1) Pre-op: Identification of risk factors- pt, surgical, anaesthesia plan
2) Preinduction: Checklist protocol, verifying function of equipments
3) Intraoperative monitoring: conventional monitoring, clinical observations, brain function monitoring
4) Postoperatively: Interview patient, counselling and report
