About this trial
Accidental Awareness During General Anesthesia (AAGA) is a condition where patients regain partial or full consciousness during anesthesia, unable to move or react. This can lead to distressing experiences such as pain, fear, or stress, and may cause long-term psychological effects like insomnia, nightmares, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Although AAGA prevalence is reported as 0.1% to 0.2% in Western studies, data specific to populations like Turkey are limited and lack large-scale research. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of AAGA in Turkey and identify associated risk factors, including patient characteristics (e.g., age, gender, comorbidities), surgical variables, and anesthesia techniques. By addressing these factors, the study seeks to enhance anesthesia safety standards and provide critical data for national health policies and practices.
