Anaesthetic Service

One of the challenges when moving from a high- to low-resource setting is having to take more direct responsibility for your own drugs and equipment than you may be used to. In some circumstances you may be starting from nothing and may have limited time to get ‘up and running’. The chapter focuses on practical aspects of setting up an anaesthetic service in resource-poor locations. It contains sections on the minimum expected standards for drugs, equipment, and staffing. As well the operating theatre environment it also contains sections on setting up an emergency room (ER), critical care area, and recovery area, as well as guidance on triage of patients.

Bowel Gangrene

We report a case of right paraduodenal hernia with strangulation of almost the entire small bowel at presentation. Since resection of all bowel of doubtful viability would have resulted in too little residual length to sustain life, a Bogota bag was fashioned using transparent plastic material from an urine drainage bag and the patient monitored intensively for 18 hours. At re-laparotomy, clear demarcation lines had formed with adequate length of viable bowel (100 cm) and resection with anastomosis was done with a good outcome on follow-up, 9 months after surgery. Our description of a rare cause of strangulated intestinal obstruction and a novel method of maximising length of viable bowel is reported for its successful outcome in a low-resource setting.
