Abstract

Abstract : ( Anaesthesia . 2021;76:460–471) The use of general anesthesia (GA) in obstetrics is typically avoided due to concerns of increased risks, but is sometimes unavoidable. Accidental awareness during GA (AAGA) has been previously investigated by the Royal College of Anaesthetists and the Association of Anaesthetists in 2013. This study, the direct reporting of awareness in maternity patients (DREAMY) study aimed to determine the incidence, risk factors, and sequelae of AAGA. A secondary study within DREAMY sought to describe the provision of GA, including drugs and management techniques used in the United Kingdom.
