    Anaesthesia is the largest hospital speciality in the UK, involved in a third of all hospital admissions, while perioperative care covers a patient's care from when they first contemplate surgery to their full recovery.

In one case a man has been left suffering nightmares and flashbacks after he stopped breathing on a ward when a powerful muscle relaxant used during an earlier procedure paralysed him but left him fully conscious. He only survived because a doctor was on the ward and started mechanically breathing for him. An investigation by the safety watchdog, the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branc

    HSIB makes the following safety recommendations HSIB recommends that the Royal College of Anaesthetists and Centre for Perioperative Care work with relevant stakeholders, such as the Association of Anaesthetists, College of Operating Department Practitioners, and Association for Perioperative Practice, to review, update and integrate new guidance on the surgical safety checklist ‘SignOut’ process.
