A three months retrospective study on the conducts of anesthesia in jimma university specialized hospital

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.
