A new report in England states that thousands of patients a year wake up during an operation. The report is from two leading organisations for 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 for someone to wake up during major surgery. One doctor says it happens in one in every 19,000 operations. Patients who do wake up on the operating table reported having feelings of 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.
英格蘭一則新報道稱，每年有數千人在手術中醒來。這則報道來自于兩家一流的麻醉師的組織機構，麻醉師在手術之前讓患者睡眠。據稱，在手術期間，每年至少有150人或者上千人清醒過來。醫生稱，在重大手術中醒來的人是非常少的。一名醫生稱，在手術中醒來的幾率是1/19,000。報道稱，在手術臺上醒來的病人會有恐懼感。患者醒來之后不能告訴醫生，因為藥物使他們的肌肉放松，所以他們不能移動或者交流。
Researchers looked at details from around three million operations in 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 of 64 recommendations to try and reduce accidents happening in operating theatres. The most basic recommendation was for doctors to use an anaesthesia checklist before each operation. This could reduce mistakes made by doctors and make sure the patient has the correct levels of 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 to preventing episodes of awareness."
研究人員調查了英國及愛爾蘭公共醫院近300萬臺手術的細節。他們用這些數據來研究在手術中需要改進的地方。他們列出了64條建議，用來嘗試減少手術中出現的意外事故。對醫生最基本的建議就是在每臺手術之前都使用麻醉檢查表來確認。這可以減少醫生的失誤，并且可以確保患者使用的藥物無誤且藥量正確。他們還建議使用監視器來了解患者是否清醒并無法移動。一名教授稱，我希望這則報告可以提醒麻醉師更加謹慎，并防止病人在手術中清醒過來。
