ABSTRACT Contrary to general and obstetric populations, where difficult airway is widely studied and well documented, it requires further research in elective and emergency ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeries. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) has published practice guidelines for the management of difficult airway, which help us deal with it perioperatively. All patients posted for ENT surgeries with difficult airway should be evaluated preoperatively and the strategy for management of difficult intubation as well as extubation chalked out. In the event, that the primary approach fails, the secondary plan should always be clear preoperatively, to reduce morbidity and mortality. How to cite this article Baldwa NM.

Background Little is known about differences in costs to provide anesthesia care for different surgical subspecialties and which factors influence the subspecialty-specific costs. Methods In this retrospective study, the authors determined main cost components (preoperative visit, intraoperative personnel costs, material and pharmaceutical costs, and others) for 10,843 consecutive anesthesia cases from a 6-month period in the 10 largest anesthesia subspecialties in their university hospital: ophthalmology; general surgery; obstetrics and gynecology; ear, nose, and throat surgery; oral and facial surgery; neurosurgery; orthopedics; cardiovascular surgery; traumatology; and urology. Using regression analysis, the effect of five presumed cost drivers (anesthesia duration, emergency status, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of III or higher, patient age younger 6 yr, and placement of invasive monitoring) on subspecialty-specific costs per anesthesia minute were analyzed. Results Both personnel costs for anesthesiologists and total costs calculated per anesthesia minute were inversely correlated with the duration of anesthesia (adjusted R2 = 0.75 and 0.69, respectively), i.e., they were higher for subspecialties with short cases and lower for subspecialties with longer cases. The multiple regression model showed that differences in anesthesia duration alone accounted for the majority of the cost differences, whereas the other presumed cost drivers added only little to explain subspecialty-specific cost differences. Conclusions Different anesthesia subspecialties show significant and financially important differences regarding their specific costs. Personnel costs and total costs are highest for subspecialties with the shortest cases. Other analyzed cost drivers had little effect on subspecialty-specific costs. In the light of these cost differences, a detailed cost analysis seems necessary before the profitability of an anesthesia subspecialty can be assessed.

Abstract Postoperative delirium, morbidity, and mortality in our elderly patients with secondary perionitis of colorectal origin is described. This is a chart-based retrospective analysis of 63 patients who were operated on at the University Hospital Basel from April 2001 to May 2004. Postoperative delirium occurred in 33%. Overall morbidity was 71.4%. Surgery-related morbidity was 43.4%. Mortality was 14.4%. There was no statistical significance between delirium, morbidity and mortality (P  =  0.279 and P  =  0.364). There was no statistically significant correlation between the analyzed scores (American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, Mannheimer Peritonitis Index, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation score II, physiological and operative surgical severity and enumeration of morbidity and mortality score‚ or short ‚cr-POSSUM’) and postoperative delirium, morbidity or mortality. Postoperative delirium occurred in one-third of the patients, who seem to have a trend to higher morbidity. Even if the different scores already had proven to be predictive in terms of morbidity and mortality, they do not help the risk stratification of postoperative delirium, morbidity, or mortality in our collective population.
