新奇事件簿 數(shù)千人在手術(shù)中醒來

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(bào)道稱，每年有數(shù)千人在手術(shù)中醒來。這則報(bào)道來自于兩家一流的麻醉師的組織機(jī)構(gòu)，麻醉師在手術(shù)之前讓患者睡眠。據(jù)稱，在手術(shù)期間，每年至少有150人或者上千人清醒過來。醫(yī)生稱，在重大手術(shù)中醒來的人是非常少的。一名醫(yī)生稱，在手術(shù)中醒來的幾率是1/19,000。報(bào)道稱，在手術(shù)臺(tái)上醒來的病人會(huì)有恐懼感。患者醒來之后不能告訴醫(yī)生，因?yàn)樗幬锸顾麄兊募∪夥潘桑运麄儾荒芤苿?dòng)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(diào)查了英國及愛爾蘭公共醫(yī)院近300萬臺(tái)手術(shù)的細(xì)節(jié)。他們用這些數(shù)據(jù)來研究在手術(shù)中需要改進(jìn)的地方。他們列出了64條建議，用來嘗試減少手術(shù)中出現(xiàn)的意外事故。對醫(yī)生最基本的建議就是在每臺(tái)手術(shù)之前都使用麻醉檢查表來確認(rèn)。這可以減少醫(yī)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(jiān)視器來了解患者是否清醒并無法移動(dòng)。一名教授稱，我希望這則報(bào)告可以提醒麻醉師更加謹(jǐn)慎，并防止病人在手術(shù)中清醒過來。
