The effects of anesthsia techniques on mobidity-mortality in geriatric patients underwent orthopedic surgery

Öz

Aim:The purpose of this retrospective study is to investigate the effect of preoperative risk factors and anaesthesia techniques on perioperative complications and mortality in elderly patients.

Material and Methods:The records of the  patients aged 65 or older who underwent orthopedic surgery between  January 2013 and December 2013 were evaluated retrospectively. Demographic data, comorbidities, preoperative hemoglobin and creatinine levels, ASA, Lee index, type and length of surgery, anaesthesia technique, anesthetics and analgesics, peroperative and postoperative complications were recorded. Patients were divided into two groups; general anaesthesia and regional anaesthesia.

Results:A total of 255 patients including 160 (%62,7) females and 95 (%37,3) males over 65 years those underwent orthopedic surgery were included into this study. Since regional anesthesia was detected as a preferred anesthesia technique in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (p = 0.001), there was no significance existed in comparison with the other comorbidities (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference found between general and regional anesthesia performed patients in comparison with peroperative and postoperative complications. A total of 12 (%4.7) patients underwent lower extremity surgery were resulted in exitus. A lower positive correlation was found between the ASA values of the patients and mortality (r = 0.205, p = 0.001).

Conclusion:It was concluded that the anesthesia method has no effect on early morbidity and mortality in geriatric patients underwent orthopedic surgery.

Ortopedik Cerrahi Uygulanan Geriyatrik Hastalarda Anestezi Tekniklerinin Morbitite-MortaliteÜzerine Etkisininİncelenmes

Öz

Amaç: Bu retrospektifçalışmanın amacı, ortopedik cerrahi uygulanan geriyatrik hastalarda preoperatif risk faktörleri ve uygulanan anestezi yönteminin perioperatif komplikasyonlar ve mortalite üzerine etkisini incelemektir.

Gereç ve yöntemler: Ocak 2013-Aralık 2013 tarihleri arasında ortopedik cerrahi uygulanan 65 yaş üstü hastalarda retrospektif dosya incelenmesi yapıldı. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, mevcut hastalıkları, preoperatif hemoglobin ve kreatinin değerleri, ASA sınıfı, Lee indeksi, ameliyat tipi ve süresi, anestezi türü, kullanılan anestezik ve analjezik ajanlar, peroperatif ve postoperatif komplikasyonlar kaydedildi. Hastalar genel ve rejyonel anestezi olarak iki gruba ayrıldı.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya ortopedik cerrahi geçiren 65 yaş üstü 160 (%62,7) kadın ve 95 (%37,3) erkek olmak üzere toplam 255 hasta dahil edildi. Preoperatif dönemde kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı mevcut olan hastalarda rejyonel anestezi tercih edildiği saptanmışken (p = 0.001), diğer ek hastalıklar açısından karşılaştırıldığında her iki anestezi tipi arasında anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p > 0.05). Genel ve rejyonel anestezi uygulanan hastalar peroperatif ve postoperatif komplikasyon gelişimi açısından karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı fark saptanmadı. Alt ekstremite cerrahisi geçiren 12 (%4,7) hastanın exitus olduğu tespit edildi. Hastaların ASA değerleri ile mortalite arasında düşük derecede pozitif korelasyon saptandı (r = 0.205, p = 0.001).

Sonuç: Ortopedik cerrahi geçiren geriyatrik hastalarda erken dönem morbitite ve mortalite  üzerine uygulanan anestezi yönteminin etkisi olmadığı  bulunmuştur.
