Evaluation of the Incidence of Post - anesthetic Complications in Recovery Unit of 9 - day Hospital in Torbat - e - Heydaryieh in 2016

Abstract

Background: Today, surgery can help prevent many deaths and reduce unpleasant complications of illness; however, it may expose the patient to further risks and complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of post -anesthesia complications in the recovery unit of the 9 -day medical education hospital of Torbat -e -Heydariyeh.

Incidence and predictive factors associated with hemodynamic instability among adult surgical patients in the post-anesthesia care unit, 2021: A prospective follow up study

“…According to a study conducted in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, there was a high correlation between the length of surgery and adverse outcomes in the PACU [ 13 ]. This result was consistent with our own research, which found that surgeries lasting 4 h or longer are 3.8 times more likely to cause hemodynamic instability than those lasting less than 1 h. Studies from Canada, Libya, and Iran all agreed that procedures lasting 4 h or longer result in HDI in the PACU [ 12 , 14 , 29 ]. Patients will be exposed to more anesthetic medicines, hypothermia, blood loss, fluid shift, and tissue stress as the procedure length increases.…”

“…Sample size was determined by using single population proportion formula. A recent similar study done in Malaysia on the incidence of hemodynamic events in the post anesthesia care unit reported that 56% of patients after operation had hemodynamic instability [ 29 ] and was used to determine sample size of this study. The sample size for this study was calculated by considering 95% confidence interval, 5% margin of error, and 56% level of proportion.…”

“…Patient's hemodynamic status assessment was started in the first 15 min of arrival to the PACU. Data of hemodynamic variables (HR, BP) were collected every 15 min of the first 1 h of PACU stay and every 30 min of the second hour of the PACU stay as per PACU monitoring standards [ 15 ]. During this period, data were taken and recorded.…”

“…Patients with severe hemodynamic events had a 1-h longer stay in the PACU than patients without such events [ 5 , 8 ]. Acute postoperative hemodynamic instability, if left untreated, can lead to postoperative hemorrhage, cerebrovascular accident, myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, heart failure, and even the rupture of vascular anastomoses [ 5 , 11 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Incidence and Factors Associated With Post-anesthesia Care Unit Complications at St. Paul’s Hospital, Ethiopia. Observational Study

“…(4,23) In contradiction to our nding, other studies (8,9) reported that the majority of PACU complications were cardiovascular-related. In another study, PONV (10.,23), central nervous system (2,11), and pain (12,13) were reported as the most common PACU complications.…”
