|
Randomly selected 193 patients who received elective operation under general anesthesia and were able to communicate with anesthesiologists and follow up for 5 days between May and September 1994 at Chonnam University Hospital, were interviewed
and
evaluated on the night before, 2 and j5 days after their operation.
Distribution of physical status by ASA was that more than half the total patients belongs to class I and 36.8% of patients were under class Ⅱ.
Sedation scores did not chang between on the night before and the day of operation.
A significant correlation existed among the visibility of pharyngeal structures, the exposure of glottis by laryngoscopy, and the degree of difficulty with intubation.
About 83% of patients was readily intubated, and none of patient was impossible to intubate.
All of the patients lost consciousness during induction of anesthesia, and did not recall during operation.
Postanesthetic complications were sore throat(30%), nausea and vomiting(28%), lumbago(15%), urticaria(3%), and dizziness(3%). (Korean J Anesthesiol 1995; 29: 471∼476)
