ABSTRACT
The subjective experiences of sedation or anaesthesia are underexplored. A recent study by Valli and colleagues (Br J Anaesth 2023; 131 348-59) found similar frequency and content of recalled experiences after both non-rapid eye movement sleep and target-controlled infusions of propofol or dexmedetomidine titrated to verbal unresponsiveness. The authors find that the phenomenological similarities between consciousness during sleep and sedation mirror their physiological similarities. Intriguingly, in this small sample, conscious experience did not show a dose-dependent response suggesting other factors are important in determining the propensity for consciousness under sedation.
