Unusual presentation of acute upper airway obstruction caused by an anterior mediastinal mass.

abstract：:Intraoperative awareness, with or without recall, continues to be a topic of clinical significance and neurobiological interest. In this article, we review evidence pertaining to the incidence, sequelae, and prevention of intraoperative awareness. We also assess which aspects of the complication are well understood (i...
