Case Reports Multicenter StudyA prospective study of awareness and recall associated with general anaesthesia for caesarean section.
The obstetric population is considered at high risk of awareness and recall when undergoing general anaesthesia for caesarean section. In recent years the incidence may have been altered by developments in obstetric anaesthesia. ⋯ Awareness with recall of intraoperative events remains a significant complication of obstetric general anaesthesia but was potentially avoidable in all cases detected in this study.
