Background: General anesthesia for cesarean section is being less popular for cesarean section in present days but sometime general anesthesia is inevitable. The aim of the study is to assess the trends of general anesthesia, indications, clinical outcome in mother and fetus in high altitude setting of tertiary care center of Nepal. Methods: We conducted descriptive cross-sectional study all cases of cesarean section in Karnali Academy of health Sciences (KAHS) located at high altitude over three years period   in our institute. Data were retrieved from the hospital records during three fiscal year (Jan 1st 2017 to Jan Dec 31st 2019). The record of all the patients who underwent cesarean section under general anesthesia was reviewed for demographic details, indication of general anesthesia, trends for general and spinal anesthesia and maternal and neonatal outcome. Results: Out of total deliveries 2175, 309 (14.2%) cases account for cesarean section. Among them, 52 (17%) required general anesthesia . Eclampsia 19(36%) remain the major indication for General Anesthesia in cesarean section followed by failure of spinal anesthesia number 14 (26%) , cord prolapse six (12%), antepartam haemorrhage five (10%), spinal site infection four (8%), Khiphoscoliosis two(4%), Patients request  two (4%). Use for general anesthesia technique was consistent for three years with slow rise in use of spinal anesthesia . There was no any anesthesia related maternal mortality and nine intraoperative neonatal   Conclusions:  General anesthesia practices are consistently required in rural high-altitude setup. Eclampsia is the commonest indication followed by failure of spinal anesthesia and cord prolapse. Neonatal outcome is still not good.

AbstractIntroduction. The number of caesarean sections has drastically increased and thus arose the idea to examine the effect of the type of anesthesia on the neonates. The objective was to compare vital parameters in the neonates, born under general and spinal anesthesia.Method. A total of 120 patients with need for caesarean section have been divided in two groups of 60, of which the first was lead in general and the second one in spinal anesthesia. The first one was given propophol (2.0-2.5 mg/kg/tt) and succinil colin (1-1.5 mg/kg/tt). The anesthesia was lead with fentanil 0,005 mg/kg/tt and rocuronium bromide 0.4-0.6 mg/kg/tt. O2:N2O was 3:3 l/min. The second group was lead in spinal anesthesia. 2-3 ml Bupivacain 0.5% was spinally applied between L2-L3. Apgar score was defined in the neonates in the first and fifth minutes. The acido-basic status of the neonate was examined through pH values in the blood and the base excess.Results. In the first minute after birth giving with Apgar, 8 newborns 37(61,67%) were born to the group of patients with SA and 29 (48.33%) to the group of patients with GA. In 11 (18.33%) newborns born to the patients led with SA had Apgar score of 9-10, while only 3 (5%) of the newborns born to the patients led with GA had Apgar score of 9-10. Similar ratio was noted in the fifth minute after birth. Ph of the newborns’ blood as well as the base excess (BE) demonstrated significantly lower values in the group of patients led with SA than in the group of patients led with GA. Ph = 7.33 vs 7.37; BE=-4.57±1.8 vs -2.96±2.3.Conclusion. The newborns from the second group had significantly higher Apgar scores than those in the first group. The newborns’ relative acidose (lower SpO2and BE) did not affect the newborns’ Apgar score in the first and fifth minute.

Laparascopic Cholecystectomy under regional anesthesia alone has been reported only with severe chronic obstructive airway disease1,2. In a randomised trial, epidural with general anesthesia have been found to be more effective in lessening postoperative pain compare with general anesthesia alone3. Regional anesthesia has been successfully used for laparascopic cholecystectomy in patient. Hamad and Ibrahim El-Khatter4 used spinal anesthesia for laparoscopic for the first time. We performing Laparascopic Cholecystectomy with carbondioxide pneumoperitoneum under spinal anesthesia alone of healthy patients with symptomatic gall stone disease5. We design a control randomized trial to compare spinal anesthesthesia with the Gold standard general anesthesia for elective Laparascopic Cholecystectomy in healty patients.TAJ 2012; 25: 55-58

Anesthesia Depth

Bispectral index parameter is used to guide the titration of general anesthesia. This monitoring improves recovery times and hospital discharges, as well as minimizes adverse events. The objective of this study is the comparison of anesthesia depth monitoring by conventional and bispectral index on nausea and vomiting after urological surgery. 180 participants who were scheduled for abdominal urological surgery were studied. Patients before induction of anesthesia were randomize into two groups with and without bispectral index monitoring. Incidence and severity of nausea and vomiting were recorded every 30 minutes for 2 hours and every 6 hours to 24 hours after surgery. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in Bispectral index group is 14.4% and 8.9% and in control group 28.9% and 23.3%, respectively. The risk of nausea and vomiting after surgery was reduced by 14.5% and 14.4%, respectively in patients monitored with bispectral index.INTRODUCTIONNausea is the conscious perception of medulla stimulation that is associated with vomiting center and create vomiting response (1). General anesthesia with the use of inhalants can cause nausea and vomiting after surgery (Postoperative nausea and vomiting, PONV). The incidence of PONV is reported about 20-30 percent (2). It seems that multiple-factor can cause PONV and few items such as anesthetic drugs, kind of surgery and personal risk factors is effective on PONV. These factors make into two categories that includes factors out of control by anesthesiologists and factors can control by anesthesiologists.1. Factors out of control by anesthesiologists: some of these factors are age, gender, past history of PONV and motion sickness, smoking, kind of surgery, operating time and anesthesia time, anxiety of patients and parents. 2. Factors controlled by anesthesiologists: these factors are associated of anesthesia settings, including premedications, kind of anesthesia, anesthesia drugs during surPublishedby Australian
