6How to Prevent Anesthesia Awareness?
Before a surgical procedure starts, your doctor should assess your existing medical conditions, overall health, as well as any drugs you are taking. Keep in mind to inform them about your previous surgical complications, alcohol and drug abuse, allergies, medical history, and current medications or supplements. Some precautions and preventive measures may be taken by the surgical team to ensure a successful procedure. These include:
– Regular checks for the safety of devices used for delivering anesthesia
– Proper labeling of anesthesia medications
– Double-checking of doses and medications used for anesthesia
– Proper monitoring of sufficient levels of sedation [8]
