Abstract

OBJECTIVE:TO STUDY INNOVATIVE AND COST EFFECTIVE METHOD OF ANAESTHESIA FOR CHILDREN UNDERGOING SURGERY.

METHODS:THIS WAS A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY WHERE EVERY CHILD UNDERGOING SURGERY WAS ENROLLED PRE MEDICATION, INDUCTION AND RECOVERY.WE DOCUMENTED DOSES OF IV AND INHALATION MEDICATIONS, HEMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS AND RECOVERY TIME.DATA ENROLLED IN PRETESTED ONLINE FORMAT, EXPORTED TO EXCEL SHEET AND ANALYSED.

RESULTS:OUR COHORT CONSISTED OF 51 CASES 28(54.9%) FEMALES AND 23(45.1%) MALE. MEAN DURATION OF SURGERY WAS 39.39+/- 20.7 MIN AND MEAN RECOVERY TIME: 8.53+/- 5.75 MINUTE. WE DID NOT FIND ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WITH OR WITHOUT REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA,SURGICAL PROCEDURE OR RECOVERY TIME.RECOVERY TIME IMPACTED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH WEIGHT OF CHILD.

CONCLUSION: PROPOSED METHOD OF ANAESTHESIA IS EFFECTIVE, SAFE, ECONOMICAL,RELIABLE FOR PAEDIATRIC POPULATION FOR OPHTHALMIC PROCEDURES.
