General Anesthesia: When You Still Wake Up!

Approximately one patient over twenty undergoing general anesthesia for surgery experiences consciousness episodes, during which he/she is able to perceive his/her surrounding environment. Sometimes, patients can even feel pain during the surgical procedure. Most of them don’t remember the event once awake after the procedure. What is the brain activity in these patients ? What do they exactly perceive of their environment ? Do they really forget everything afterward ? This is the topic of interest of this experiment, which is carried out by a pluridisciplinary team belonging to the GIGA-Consciousness Thematic Unit of the University and the University Hospital of Liège.
