Background: Color code was described for the first time in 2003 was described for the first time in 2003 by since and al. The objective of this study was to accomplish urgent caesarian sections according to color code over delays indications-births (DIN) in Motherhood Befelatanana, Antananarivo, Madagascar.Methods: It was about a longitudinal prospective, analytical study of caesarian sections performed in emergency in CHUGOB going from June 1st till December 31st, 2017.Results: Authors took a census 193 caesarian sections of emergency. Among these patients 28 (14.50%) had a caesarian section encode red, 42 (21.76%) an orange code and 123 (63.73%) a green code. The medium age of the patients was of 26.4 years and that of the gestation was of 37SA and 6 days. The delay indication-birth (DIN) medium was of 102.9 minutes for red code, 99.7 minutes for orange code and 75 minutes for green code.Conclusions: Authors could not attain DIN of 30 minutes shape in international recommendations. Authors must improve the delay indication entered in the surgical unit by reinforcing knowledge of the agents of support on the management of emergency obstetrical. The possibility of leading to a very quick birth is an indisputable progress in obstetrics but she should not make forget risks inherent in such procedure.

Day-case surgery is particularly attractive for children, allowing post-operative recovery in the safe environment of the family home. Myringoplasty using the traditional method of underlay temporalis fasia is usually performed as an in-patient. From 1995 to 2000, 74 myringoplasties were performed in a dedicated paediatric day surgery unit at the Mayday University Hospital. We have retrospectively reviewed the outcome results of these procedures and reported them here. Only three patients required admission overnight (four per cent) and six grafts failed (8.5 per cent) complying with accepted standards. This series suggests that day-case surgery is a safe and desirable practice for children undergoing myringoplasty. However, there should be the facility for admission if required.

This observational and sectional study analyzed the quality of the wound dressing procedure performed on hospitalized patients at a medical surgical unit of a University Hospital, based on their classification according to the degree of care dependency and activity performance phases. Using a check list, 168 wound dressings were observed between October and December 2005. Procedure quality was analyzed based on the Positivity Index (IP) and values >70% were considered satisfactory.For the preparation, the IP was 68%, 63%, 73% and 75% for patients with degrees I, II, III and IV, respectively; for execution, 70%, 69%, 71% and 75% and, for unit organization, it was >70% for all degrees. However, the items: validity time frame checking, respect for aseptic principles and maintenance of logical sequence of procedures were compromised. Rigorous execution of procedures allows for risk decrease and assures benefic results for patients, conferring quality to nursing actions.

Objective: The object of this study was to determine the frequency and type of thyroid carcinoma in Multi nodular goiter(MNG) after surgical resection on histopathological basis. Introduction: Multi nodular goiter (MNG) is one of the common presentationsof various thyroid diseases. Thyroid nodules have been reported to be found in 4% to 7% of the population on neck palpation. Although incomparison to solitary nodule, the risk of malignancy in MNG is low but certain studies are showing significant risk. Material andmethods: This prospective, observational study was carried out in the surgical unit I of Ghulam Mohammad Mahar Medical collegehospital sukkur from 2007 to 2012. 94 cases with clinical diagnosis of MNG were analyzed during this period. All the patients wereadmitted through opd with routine investigations plus investigations specific to thyroid including thyroid profile, thyroid scan, FNAC ofdominant nodule before being subjected to surgery. All FNACs were carried out at agha khan university hospital Karachi. Histopathologyof operated specimen was the main criteria for malignancy. Results: Among the 94 cases which were included in this study, 9 (9.5%)cases containing foci of malignancy. Incidence of malignancy commonly occurs in females, papillary carcinoma is being the commonestentity. Conclusions: The incidence of malignancy in MNG in this study is 9.5% that is quite high. So people should be educated andencouraged to attend the thyroid clinics for proper evaluation and early diagnosis of Malignancy.

Abstract Background Ethiopia is a rapidly developing country in Eastern Africa. 43.2% of the population is younger than 15. In contrast, until a few years ago, pediatric surgery was only available in Addis Ababa. Now, Ethiopia is making great efforts to improve the care of surgical ill children. JimmaChild was established to set up a pediatric surgery in Jimma. Methods JimmaChild developed from a scientific collaboration between Jimma University (JU) and Ludwig-Maximilians-University. The project was developed and realized by Ethiopian and German colleagues. A curriculum was written for this purpose. The pediatric surgical training of the fellows was carried out on-site by German pediatric surgeons. Results A new pediatric surgery was established at JU with its own operating room, ward, and staff. After two and a half years, two fellows completed their final examinations as pediatric surgeons. Among others, 850 elective surgeries were performed, 82% assisted by the German colleagues. The German colleagues rated the preparation for the trip, the on-site support, and the professional progress of the fellows mostly as good to very good. Reported problems in the program flow were also recognized and solved in part. Conclusions Best possible integration of the project into existing structures was achieved by close cooperation of Ethiopian and German colleagues during the project development. Problems were identified and addressed early on by external monitoring. As the project responsibility was mainly with the Ethiopian colleagues, a department was created that now exists independent of external funding and trains its own fellows.

Aims: Many procedures in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) day surgery are carried out under local anesthesia in Finland, whereas many other countries use general anesthesia. We investigated overstay and readmission rates in local and general anesthesia at Helsinki University Hospital. Material and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on ENT (n = 1011) day surgery patients within a 3-month period using the hospital’s surgery database to collect data pertaining to anesthesia, overstays, readmissions, and contacts within 30 days of surgery. Objectives: We examined the effect of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class, age, sex, type of procedure, and anesthesia type on overstay, contact, and readmission rates. Results: A multivariable logistic regression model included ASA class, age, sex, type of procedure, and anesthesia (local vs general). Sex, age, and type of procedure had an effect on the outcomes of overstay, readmission, or contact. With general anesthesia, 3.2% (n = 23) had an overstay or readmission compared to 1.4% (n = 4) after local anesthesia. This was mainly explained by the number of study outcomes in tonsillar surgery that was performed only in general anesthesia. Conclusions: Day surgery could be done safely using local anesthesia, as the number of study outcomes was no greater than in general anesthesia. Sex, type of procedure, and age affected the rate of study outcomes, but ASA class and anesthesia form did not. Our overstay, contact, and readmission rates are on the same level, or lower, than in international studies.
