Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself.
Medical Definition of Anesthesia awareness Anesthesia awareness: The situation that occurs when a patient under general anesthesia becomes aware of some or all events during surgery or a procedure, and has direct recall of those events. Because of the routine use of neuromuscular blocking agents (also called paralytics) during general anesthesia, the patient is often unable to communicate with the surgical team if this occurs.
