Anaesthetic Awareness

Awake during the operation?

Having to undergo a surgical procedure can be a traumatic process, but it should not be a painful experience if the anaesthetic works. However, it is not uncommon for the anaesthetic to fail, and you could end up being awake during your own operation, in horrific pain, but unable to tell the doctors.

We often deal with these cases of anaesthetic awareness, in which the anaesthetics given to a patient have successfully paralysed them but failed to give them enough pain relief.

Often the patient suffers psychiatric disorder due to flashbacks and is unable to return to their pre – operative employment.

We can assist in this situation, by securing damages to assist in restoring some element of normality into the patient’s life.
