The anesthesiological management of acute surgical abdomens remains a delicate exercise for anesthesiologists and resuscitators, given the major volume disturbances, the delay in diagnosis with its corollary of septic shock, and the dysfunction of the emergency departments with which they are confronted. The objectives of this work were to study clinical and anesthesiological aspects, as well as intraoperative morbidity and mortality related to acute surgical abdomens. We conducted a prospective 12-month study. In this study was included Any patient received in the emergency room of the C.H.U Gabriel Touré in whom the diagnosis of acute surgical abdomen had been retained on the basis of clinical and paraclinical signs who agreed to participate. Results: During our study period, acute surgical abdomens represented 631/1335 cases of all emergency surgeries. Fifty-six of them were referred to intensive care immediately after surgery. Peritonitis represented 376 cases (61%) followed by intestinal obstruction (135/631), appendicitis (76/631) and hemoperitoins (33/631). The clinical presentation on admission was dominated by signs of hypovolemic and infectious delay. The average hemoglobin level was 12.03g / dl. Renal impairment (clearance <50 ml / ml) was detected in 50 patients. The mean operating time was 134.32 min regardless of the diagnosis. In the intensive care group, the reason for admission was dominated by states of shock 24 out of 56 cases (i.e. 42.9%), delayed awakening 5/56 cases, bronchial inhalation 4/56, cardio circulatory arrest 2/56 . In this group 14 patients received artificial ventilation ≥12h. Vasoactive support coupled with macromolecular filling was required in 17/56 cases. Eleven patients were reoperated x 25 during their stay in intensive care. The major postoperative complications were septic shock in 11 cases, hemorrhagic shock in 6 cases and 1 cardiogenic shock. The overall mortality from acute surgical abdomens was 2.24% patients (30 patients). Conclusion: The management of abdominal surgical emergencies must be multidisciplinary in order to further reduce the morbidity and mortality rate which remains significant today.                                                                                                                                 Keywords: Anesthesia, perioperative, abdominal surgical emergency, Gabriel Touré University Hospital
