Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic appendicectomy (LA) is the most commonly performed intra-abdominal operation. Aims and Objectives: To study patient’s satisfaction and various complications occurred during spinal anesthesia used for laparoscopic apendicectomy. Methodology: This was a cross sectional study carried out in the department of Anesthesiology of a tertiary health care during the one-year period i.e. January 2017 to January 2018 in the patients undergone spinal anesthesia for the laparoscopic appnediscecomy, during the one year after written consent 66 patients were included into the study. The patients satisfaction was noted as fully satisfied, Partly Satisfied, Not satisfied. The data is presented in Tabular form and expressed in percentages. Result: In our study we have seen that The majority of the patients were in the age group of in the age group of 30-40 were 31.82%, 40 -50 were 28.79%, 20-30 were 18.18%, 50-60 were 13.64%, and andgt;60 were 7.58%. The majority of the patients were Male i.e. 57.58% and Female were 42.42%. The most common complications were Nausea and vomiting in 31.82%, followed by Post-dural-puncture headache in 25.76, Urinary retention in 13.64%, Transient neurological symptoms in 7.58%, Mild hypotension in 4.55%, Bradycardia in 3.03%, lower back pain with pain in the legs in 3.03%. The majority of the patients were satisfied i.e. 68.18% were Fully satisfied, 18.18 % were Partly Satisfied, 13.64% Not satisfied. Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that the most common complications were Nausea and vomiting followed by Post-dural-puncture headache, Urinary retention, Transient neurological symptoms, Mild hypotension etc. and majority patients were satisfied with the spinal anesthesia
