Abstract
- It is unclear whether shorter wave latencies of middle-latency-auditory-evoked-potentials may be associated to cognitive function other than nondeclarative memory. We investigated the presence of declarative, nondeclarative and dreaming memory in propofol-anaesthetized patients and any relationship to intraoperatively registered middle-latency-auditory-evoked-potentials. An audiotape containing one of two stories was presented to patients during anaesthesia. Patients were interviewed on dream recall immediately upon emergence from anaesthesia. Declarative and nondeclarative memories for intraoperative listening were assessed 24 h after awakening without pointing out positive findings. Six patients who reported dream recall showed an intraoperative Pa latency less than that of patients who were unable to remember any dreams (P
