|
In this study, We have tried to evaluate with a Pulse oximeter the changes of SaO2Pulse, and Temperature in the recovery period. We divided 75 patients into the following 5 groups according to operation sites and anesthetic methods.
1) Lower aMominal operation (Group 1) 2) Upper abdominal operation (Group 2) 3) Head and Neck operation (Group 3) 4) Extremity operation (Group 4) 5) Subarachnoid Block (Group 5) We measured the values preoperatively, on arrival at the recovery room, and at 5 minutes 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes later. The SaO2was decreased in all groups on arrival, significantly in group 2 and 4, but progressively increased toward normal range. The Temperature dropped significantly in groups 2, 4, and 5 on arrival, the pulse was significantly decreased only in group 5. As a result of this study, We recommend supplementel oxygen and thermoregulation for immediate postanesthetic patient care. |
