News About Surgeries

Today I was reading this information from a very good web site which link you will see below.
Research in the UK and Ireland shows that every year more than thousand patients wake up during surgery.The doctors in the UK deny this fact and say that it happens once in 19.000 surgeries.Because of the anesthetics the patients can not speak and move thus they can't tell the doctor if they are awake.The anesthetics that are used relax the patients. In the case when they wake up because,of the anesthetics they can not speak or move.When patients wake up during surgery they panic.To reduce this, researchers used data from 3 million operations to find and develop 64 ways to make surgery safer.One of them is that the doctors should make a checklist to see if the patient has the exact anesthetic.With this method the cases with the patient waking up during surgery will decline.It is a very good idea to make the surgery safer not only in the UK but in the world.I also calculated and in the 3 million surgeries they checked there were around 158 cases in which patients woke up.
