OBJECTIVE: To define the incidence of recall and dreams during analgosedation in critically ill @entity1 . DESIGN: Prospective clinical study. SETTING: Anaesthesiological intensive care unit (ICU) in a university hospital. @entity1 AND @entity1 : Two hundred and eighty-nine critically ill @entity1 , who either arrived intubated and sedated at the ICU or required intubation, mechanical ventilation, and sedation during their ICU stay. INTERVENTIONS: none. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: The @entity1 were interviewed 48-72 h after discharge from the ICU. By a structured interview they were asked whether they recalled any event before they had regained consciousness at the ICU. Moreover they were asked for dreams. Descriptive statistics: 64.7% of all @entity1 did not recall any event, before they regained consciousness. However, 17% ( n=49) of all @entity1 indicated that they remembered the tracheal tube or being on the ventilator, before they woke up. Some @entity1 (21.1%) reported dreams or dreamlike sensations. Some @entity1 (9.3%) recalled nightmares, while 6.6% reported @entity1833 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity3124 @entity1 reported a high incidence of recall for unpleasant events, which they thought to have taken place before they regained consciousness. The @entity1 , who stayed longer than 24 h at the ICU, indicated vivid memory for nightmares and @entity1833 . Further studies are suggested to evaluate: 1) whether there is an impact of the present findings on outcome; and 2) whether clinical scores for sedation or neurophysiological monitoring help to define the exact time, when recall happens, in order to guide therapeutic intervention.
