Abstract
Accidental awareness during anaesthesia is multifactorial. Despite the cause it is harmful to both the patient and the anaesthetist. This case report is of a 68-year-old ASA 1 lady coming for a routine plastic surgery who had experienced accidental awareness under anaestheisa due to a faulty vaporizer. Timely detection and intervention may have prevented the long-term harmful sequalae of accidental awareness to the patient.
