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.
对与麻醉相关的死亡率和发病率进行了综述。大多数已发表的麻醉常见并发症的发病率差异很大。在可能的情况下，根据现有最佳数据对每种发病率进行了实际估计。讨论了对风险的认知以及向患者传达麻醉风险的问题。使用社区聚类对数尺度将麻醉并发症的发病率与日常事件的相对风险进行比较，以便在与其他并发症以及手术固有风险相比较时正确看待这些风险。记录这些风险并与患者进行讨论应能使他们更好地了解麻醉并发症的相对风险。根据特定的合并症和手术的严重程度，任何个体与麻醉相关的这些风险可能会增加。
