COSTA LEON, Elvis; FERNANDEZ RAMOS, Humberto  y  OTERO LEYVA, Maday. Retardation in awakening from anesthesia. Rev cuba anestesiol reanim [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.1, pp. 73-79. ISSN 1726-6718.

Introduction: the retardation when awakening from anesthesia is a relatively frequent complication observed in the immediate post operative period of multifactor origin; among the most important causes are: elevated intracranial pressure as a consequence of intracranial expansive lesions due to neurosurgical procedures. Objective: expose the clinical characteristics and post operative conduct carried out in patients with prolonged anesthetic awakening. Clinical case: patient who was operated on a fistula of cephalorachidial liquid who has a prolonged anesthetic awakening in the Post anesthetic Recovery Unit as a result of a neumoencephalom. Conclusiones: the neumoencephalom constitutes a cause less frequent in the retardation of awakening from anesthesia in post operative; it must be taken into account and ruled out in treated patients by jeans of neurosurgical procedures.

Palabras clave : retardation in awakening from anesthesia; prolonged anesthetic awakening; neumoencephalom; fistula of cephalorachidial liquid.
