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

Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare cases of retrograde intrarenal surgery performed under spinal or general anesthesia through investigating relevant parameters for the first time in the literature. Material and method: In total, 86 patients with diagnosis of kidney stone who were treated by retrograde intrarenal surgery were included in this randomized controlled prospective study. In total, 43 of these operations were performed under spinal anesthesia (group I) and 43 were performed under general anesthesia (group II). The groups were compared in terms of demographic features, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, duration of operation, complication rates, postoperative visual analogue scale, postoperative hospitalization period, stone-free rates, and cost value ratios. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of demographic findings, preoperative stone loads, postoperative stone-free rates, complication rates and postoperative hospitalization periods (p > 0.05). Postoperative visual analogue scale scores and cost value ratios were found statistically significantly lower in the spinal anesthesia group (group I) when compared with the general anesthesia group (group II; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Performing retrograde intrarenal surgery in the presence of spinal anesthesia is equally effective with general anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia also appears to be a more advantageous method due to statistically significantly lower mean postoperative pain scores and treatment cost value ratios.
