Anesthesia Awareness

Anesthesia awareness is a condition where people undergoing surgery are aware and able to feel pain or pressure but unable to communicate to make known their situation.

This occurs when patients under general anesthesia, which is administered for surgeries, do not receive enough dosage. They are then caught in a frightening prison of awareness without the ability to speak or move.

Anesthesia awareness is also known as "unintended intra-operative awareness"
