Abstract:
Background: -Anesthesia can broadly be defined as a drug-induced reversible
depression of the central nervous system (CNS) resulting in the loss of response to
and perception of all external stimuli. The components of the anesthetic state
include unconsciousness, amnesia, analgesia, immobility, and attenuation of
autonomic responses to noxious stimulation.
Objectives:-To assess conducts of anesthesia in Jimma university specialized
hospital from January 1- March 29, 2013
Method: -Retrospective descriptive study design was employed. All the patients
done under GA or RA from January 1 to March 29, 2013 will be asked.
Result:-The study result was indicated that GA administered on 268 (89.1%)
patients, on the other hand RA was proposed on 30(10.9%)which implies that GA
was mostly used than RA .From the given GA 217(81%)administered GA with
ETT and 44(16.4%)proposed GA with FM, whereas from the administered RA
29(96.7%)was used spinal anesthesia. Benzodiazepines and ketamine was used
together as induction agents on 165(61.6%) of patients during administered
anesthesia.
Conclusion: -In this study most patients commonly undergone GA,but there are
few patients proposed RA. Other study reviles that RA was advantageous than GA
in a situation of decreasing mortality rateas well as reduced the odds of deep vein
thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, so I would like to recommend JUSH to use
RA instead of GA.
