Abstract

There are numerous reports from patients concerning perceptions during deep unconsciousness, be it general anaesthesia, cardiopulmonary resuscitation or intensive care and coma treatment. These experiences can cause considerable traumatisation. The most stressful experience is apparently not feeling pain, but the lack of communication, i.e. being recognised and being able to express oneself. Although there are already indications of positive effects of positive communication during general anaesthesia, these findings have not yet markedly changed the way we deal with the unconscious.
