Disinfectant Solution

An elderly patient was admitted for day-case surgery to excise a lipoma from the back of her neck under local anaesthesia. The patient was placed prone; the operation site was cleaned with an alcohol-based skin preparation and draped. The patient was given mild sedation and oxygen through nasal cannulae. It appears that the disinfectant solution had pooled in the patient's hair because when diathermy was applied to cauterise a small wound-edge bleeding point, the patient's head was suddenly engulfed in flames. The fire was rapidly extinguished but left small burns to one ear and loss of a large portion of hair.

This prospective study was carried out in East Surgical unit, Mayo Hospital, Lahore for the period of two years from July 2001 to July 2002 on outpatient basis. Total of 50 patients aged between 20-50 years fulfilled the criteria of day case surgery i.e., health and social criteria (ASAI&II), only those were included in the study. The objectives were to evaluate the role of lateral sphicnterotomy under local anaesthesia as a day case surgery, considerable cost to patient and hospital, less morbidity and high patient acceptance. Thirty three patients (66%) were male and 17(34%) were female. Male to female ratio was about 2:1. Thirty nine patients (78%) presented with posterior anal fissure and 11 patients (12%) with anterior anal fissure. All patients operated under local anaesthesia as day case. Immediate relief from pain and painless first bowel movements was accomplished in 49(98%) of patients. No morbidity was observed. Postoperative complications were observed in 4 patients (8%) that resolved with conservative management. The patient acceptance was high (94%).

The Mean

Thiopentone and propofol were used for the induction and maintenance of anaesthesia in unpremedicated patients undergoing minor gynaecological procedures. There were no significant differences in the induction and maintenance characteristics except for a high incidence of pain on injection and a greater fall in the mean systolic blood pressure associated with propofol in comparison with thiopentone. Propofol was associated with a quicker early recovery as well as a faster psychomotor recovery, as tested by a peg-board. However, complete psychomotor recovery was not achieved for up to three hours in some patients receiving propofol and so caution is advised regarding the early street fitness of patients receiving repeated doses of the drug for day case surgery.

AbstractObjective:The safety of day-case tonsillectomy is widely documented in the literature; however, there are no evidence-based guidelines recommending patient characteristics that are incompatible with day-case tonsillectomy. This study aimed to identify which patients should be considered unsafe for day-case tonsillectomy based on the likelihood of needing critical intervention.Method:Retrospective review of 2863 tonsillectomy procedures performed at University Hospital Geelong from 1998 to 2014.Results:Of the patients, 7.81 per cent suffered a post-tonsillectomy complication and 4.15 per cent required intervention. The most serious complications, haemorrhage requiring a return to the operating theatre and airway compromise, occurred in 0.56 per cent and 0.11 per cent of patients respectively. The following patient characteristics were significantly associated with poorer outcomes: age of two years or less (p < 0.01), tonsillectomy indicated for neoplasm (p < 0.01) and quinsy (p < 0.05).Conclusion:The authors believe that all elective tonsillectomy patients should be considered for day-case surgery, with the following criteria necessitating overnight observation: age of two years or less; an indication for tonsillectomy of neoplasm or quinsy; and an American Society of Anesthesia score of more than 2.
