  1. Anesthesia has a life-changing impact on millions of lives. However, the risks involved with anesthesia are real.

  2. What is Anesthesia Awareness? Anesthesia awareness is when a person under anesthesia is awake and aware of themselves and their surroundings but cannot communicate with anyone around them during the surgical procedure. In the most severe cases, the individual could experience intense feelings of pain and suffocation.

  3. How Does Anesthesia Awareness Happen? The two main types of anesthesia used typically in surgeries are- 1. Aparalytic agent, which leaves you completely unable to move, and 2. A second anesthetic, which provides pain relief and causes unconsciousness. If the paralytic works, but the anesthesia intended to keep the patient in an unconscious state does not, the patient may feel everything that is happening and be unable to do anything about it.

  4. What are the Effects of Anesthesia Awareness? Anesthesia awareness leads to patients getting post-traumatic stress disorder or other conditions from being so terrified. It can have a long-lasting impact on mental health and physical abilities. Many people experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and feelings of deep isolation following their anesthesia awareness, which leads to thoughts of suicide.

  5. Is Anesthesia Awareness a Medical Negligence? Anesthesia awareness is one of the most horrific nightmares a patient can experience. Medical professionals are responsible for ensuring that the anesthesia works and that their patients do not suffer through an experience like this. If you or your loved ones wake up during the procedure due to this negligence, you are entitled to file a medical malpractice claim. You may receive compensation for medical bills, costs of therapy (if you require mental health treatment after the incident), loss of wages, and more.
