Consent and anaesthetic risk
Abstract
Summary: The incidences of mortality and morbidity associated with anaesthesia were reviewed. Most of the published incidences for common complications of anaesthesia vary considerably. Where possible, a realistic estimate of the incidence of each morbidity has been made, based on the best available data. Perception of risk and communication of anaesthetic risk to patients are discussed. The incidences of anaesthetic complications are compared with the relative risks of everyday events, using a community cluster logarithmic scale, in order to place the risks in perspective when compared with other complications and with the inherent risks of surgery. Documentation of these risks and discussion with patients should allow them to be better informed of the relative risks of anaesthetic complications. Depending on specific comorbidities and the severity of operation, these risks associated with anaesthesia may increase for any one individual.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
