How to Prevent Anesthesia Awareness

Anesthesia Awareness can be prevented. There are some new advances in technology that let doctors monitor the depth of the patient's consciousness.

Human error can't be completely removed. A Practice Advisory was released recently by the American Society of Anesthesiologists which outlines the procedures that doctors and hospital personnel should take to minimize these errors. Common human errors include inadequate drug dose, inadequate monitoring, and failure to refill the anesthetic machine's vaporizers with volatile anesthetic.

The anesthetic machines themselves can cause anesthesia awareness to occur. Some hospitals still use anesthetic machines from the World War II era. These machines tend to unintentionally release oxygen into the breathing tube that can dilute the anesthetic mixture and lead to awareness. Careful maintenance and checking of the equipment can reduce the risk of anesthesia awareness. Having a properly trained staff, avoiding the use of paralytic drugs unless necessary and vigilance during the surgical procedure decreases the chance that the patient will experience anesthesia awareness.

Using an EEG monitor, like the Nartotrend, is another good way to monitor the patient's level of consciousness during surgery. EEG monitors measure the electrical activity in the patient's cerebral cortex which is normally active while awake and inactive while anesthetized or in natural sleep. These, along with other newer technologies, can provide surgeons and medical staff with good indications of the patient's level of consciousness.

But these machines are not without flaws. They are susceptible to interference from other surgical equipment (as in electro-surgery). They are also not advanced enough to detect the presence of less conventional anesthetic agents.
