      Unfortunately, yes.
      Techniques are improving constantly in healthcare, leading to much better outcomes for patients.
      Improvements in infusion pumps have contributed to this improvement, requiring less intervention by anaesthetists during surgery, and ensuring the drugs used don’t reduce the patients heart rate excessively.
