Barry received many honours including the Gilbert Brown Prize and life membership of the Australian Society of Anaesthetists, fellowship by election to the Faculty of Anaesthetists of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Robert Orton Medal of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists - its highest honour.

It was Professor Prys-Roberts (Oxford) who stated in 1987 on the occasion of Barry's election to fellowship of the Faculty of Anaesthetists of the Royal College of Surgeons of England that "more than anyone else Ben Barry established the journal which we now recognise as one of the leading English language journals in the world".

These recommendations were written to guide ANZCA and MCSA members in recognizing the problem of unintended awareness and adopt a consensus on how to reduce the incidence of inadvertent surgical wake-ups.
The ANZCA has stated that, when clinically indicated, equipment to monitor the anaesthetic effect on the brain should be available for use on patients at high risk of awareness during general anaesthesia.

During last week's annual scientific meeting of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, Professor Spiess, from the Virginia Commonwealth University, poured scorn on the belief that blood, or at least the transfusion of it, was the elixir of life.
A statement from the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists said: "In Australia, the economics of blood discourages the use of alternatives because Australians donate blood and the Red Cross gives it to hospitals free … alternatives to transfusion include minimising blood loss and maximising oxygenation."
Professor Spiess told the conference of anaesthetists — the profession responsible for half the transfusions associated with surgery — that campaigns to encourage blood donation had helped shape the notion that all transfusions were good.
