Introduction: Wound healing is influenced by various factors, one of which is nutritional status. Nutritional status itself is often detected by one of the important signs of serum albumin. Albumin is a protein in human plasma that is soluble in water and high in concentration in blood plasma. Low albumin levels as an estimate of the causes of malnutrition and also associated with increased complications and postoperative death. Serum albumin less than 3.5g / dL is recognized by the patient as hypoalbuminemia. Methods: This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the relationship between albumin levels and wound healing in postoperative patients. This study used a cross sectional observational analytic method by taking secondary data from medical records of postoperative patients (disgestif surgery, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, oncology surgery) at Sanglah General Hospital. Result: Of the 60 patients involved in this study, patients with abnormal albumin levels were 36.7% and patients with normal albumin levels were 63.3%. The chi-square test results showed that postoperative patients who had the last abnormal albumin level before surgery 5.1 times more with unrecover wound compared to patients with normal albumin levels (PR = 5.182; 95% CI = 2.181-12.310, p = 0.00001). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between albumin levels and wound healing.

Esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a congenital defect that often presents with respiratory distress in neonates. The anatomical defect in the form of connection between the esophagus and the trachea often affects respiratory function. Gastric distention often occurs due to large air leak into the stomach and may lead to respiratory distress. Surgical correction of the anatomical defect will improve the outcome in these patients. Preoperative preparation and intraoperative management is an essential point. Suboptimal preparation may lead to a life-threatening situation intraoperative. Focusing on airway and ventilatory management may help in reducing morbidity and mortality. We report a case of anesthesia management of TEF repair in a premature neonate with a complication during airway and ventilatory management.

Background: Cuff volume additionally impacts a postoperative sore throat and dysphagia. The rate of a sore throat has likewise been discovered to be higher in the event of Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) than that of endotracheal intubation (ETT).Aim: To know the duration of a sore throat and level of severity of a sore throat after endotracheal intubation among patients of Sanglah General Hospital.Method: This cross sectional study was conducted on patients of Sanglah General Hospital. There were 100 students were participated in this study. They were asked to fill up a self-administered questionnaire. The variables assessed were their duration towards patients who have used anesthetic during surgery.Result: About 54% of 100 patient of Sanglah General Hospital, respectively had a sore throat for 4 to 6 days after endotracheal intubation. However, 28% of patients had a sore throat from day one to day three after the endotracheal intubation method. For the severity of a sore throat over 50% of the patients have experienced pain in eating, drinking, talking and for some people it has given them an enormous side effect towards their daily activity. Though the overall duration and severity of a sore throat among the patient, lasted less than a week and for the severity patient have voted respectively high. Patients with good diet control after the surgery tend to heal faster.
