Anesthetized patients were confused on the operating table – only discovered when they woke up

Anesthetized patients were confused on the operating table only

It was in May 2023 at the University Hospital in Uppsala that two patients who were to be sedated to be examined in the abdomen were mistaken for each other.

When one patient had been sedated, the surgeons began the examination in the belief that it was the other patient who was lying on the operating table. The confusion was only discovered when the patient woke up. She then had to be sedated again to get the right examination, writes Siren.
