ABSTRACT
Aim: The main aim of our
current research was to assess occurrence and prevalence of postsurgical
problems in individuals who had had neurosurgical operations.
Methods: From January 2020 to
December 2021 a descriptive study is conducted at Neurosurgery department
Chandka Medical College, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University
Larkana, most patients remained monitored surgically in post anesthesia care
unit or critical care unit for up to four hours. The investigators noted
relevant problems and clinical records on a standardized form. Respiratory,
cardiovascular, nausea and vomiting, hypothermia, and other problems have been
identified. Age, gender, ASA status, kind of surgery, elective or emergency
surgery, in addition postoperative placement were all examined as lifestyle
factors for the incidence of problems.
Results: Six hundred patients
treated studied monitored, although the trachea remained deeply sedated in 57
of them after the four-hour study period, hence they were eliminated from the
postoperative effects assessment. At least one situation happened in 56.6
percent of the remaining 437 individuals. Respiratory issues occurred in 3.9
percent of cases, airway damage in 5.6 percent of cases, cardiovascular
complications in 7.8 percent of cases, neurological abnormalities in 6.8
percent of cases, and nausea and/or vomiting in 39 percent of cases. The most
patients had problems throughout spine (68%) and trauma (68%) surgery,
comparing to tumor (48%) and other (47%) surgery, P 0.06. Other lifestyle
factors for nausea and vomiting were being over 70 years old (P 0.01) and
having elective spine also trauma surgery (P 0.002).
Conclusion: In patients
presenting, here had been very significant rate of early postoperative
problems. The most prevalent issue included nausea and vomiting, that was more
prevalent among young patients receiving elective spine surgery.
Keywords: Occurrence and
prevalence of postsurgical problems, neurosurgical operations
