Good Luck.
A new report England states that thousands patients a year wake during an operation. The report is two leading organisations anaesthetists – people who put us to sleep before surgery. It said: "At least 150, and possibly several thousand, patients a year are conscious while they are undergoing operations." Doctors say it is very rare someone to wake during major surgery. One doctor says it happens in one every 19,000 operations. Patients who do wake up the operating table reported having feelings fear and panic. A patient cannot alert the doctors if he/she wakes up because the drugs relax their muscles so they cannot move or communicate.

Researchers looked details from around three million operations public hospitals in the U.K. and Ireland. They used the data to find areas that could be improved during an operation. They made a list 64 recommendations to try and reduce accidents happening operating theatres. The most basic recommendation was doctors to use an anaesthesia checklist each operation. This could reduce mistakes made doctors and make sure the patient has the correct levels the correct drugs. They also recommend using a monitor so doctors know if the patient wakes up and cannot move. A professor said: "I hope this report will ensure anaesthetists pay even greater attention preventing episodes awareness."
