  • Major trauma (1 in 20)
  • Impaired CVS function
  • Bronchoscopy
  • Difficult intubation

3. Anaesthetic errors.

4. Equipment failure.

5. Patient factors:

The incidence of awareness for procedures such as elective inguinal hernia repair is no higher than 0.1-0.2%.

Whilst DC cardioversion is a very short procedure that can be carried out under "deep" sedation, general anaesthesia is the preferred option with an incidence of awareness of 0.3%.
