Anesthetic Activities of Scheduled Surgery at CHU Gabriel Touré

Concept: We opted for this study because the hospital unit Gabriel Touré was renovated with 7 surgical specialties. Our study was the very last study before the advent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19). Goal: Evaluate the anesthetic activities of the planned surgery at the University Hospital Center CHU Gabriel Touré. Method and Material: This was a descriptive prospective study carried out in the cold operating theater of the CHU Gabriel Touré from January to December 2018. It focused on all patients operated on for regulated surgery and who had benefited from anesthesia. Our data was entered and analyzed on SPSS 25 software. Word processing performed on Microsoft WORD® 2016 and graphics on Microsoft EXCEL® 2016. Results: During the study period 1700 patients were operated on in the operating room for scheduled surgery. The age range of 0 to 5 years accounted for (14.8%). The average age was 6.64 years;male predominance (52.6%) of operated patients with a sex ratio of 1.1. A history of general anesthesia was found in 62.1%. The classification of the American Anesthesia Society (ASA) ASA1 class represented 92.7%. Tonsillitis was the most common operative diagnosis (9.5%). Hernia cures and eventrations were the most common surgical technique (11.8%). General anesthesia was achieved in 65.3% of patients. Hypotension was the most common adverse event in the operating room, 44.5%. The intraoperative mortality was 0.11%. Conclusion: Our study covered the entire population anesthetized. It provided an update on the practice of anesthesia in the intensive care unit anesthesia. General anesthesia was the most used technique;a predominance of cardiovascular adverse events, occurring more often in induction and mainly favorable outcome with mortality intraoperative 0.11%. A growing presence of MAR and DES who had performed more than 30% of anesthesia.

Blows and Voluntary Wounds of the Emergency Unite in Gabriel Toure Teaching Hospital in Bamako

Introduction: Voluntary assault and injuries are acts that damage the physical and psychological integrity of a human being. WHO in its global report on violence and health estimates that in 2000, 1.6 million people worldwide died as a result of self-harm, interpersonal or collective violence, resulting in an overall rate adjusted by age of 28.8 per 100,000 population. Because of the seriousness of this phenomenon and the heavy socio-economic and health consequences that they generate, it seemed important to us to undertake this study, which aimed to study the deliberate injuries in the emergency unite of the Gabriel Touré Teaching Hospital in Bamako. Material and methods: This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study with a prospective study from September 1st, 2016 to August 31st, 12 months, covering 295 patients, including any patient received for voluntary injury consultation with a workable medical record and/or a full investigation record with or without requisition. Our data were collected on individual survey cards and subsequently analyzed with Word, Excel, IBM SPSS Statistics 22 software. Results: The majority of victims of assault and bodily injury were male with 83.1%;with a sex ratio of 4.9, the 18 to 28 age group was the most concerned with 163 cases of the 295 cases in our study, 55.2%. The extremes were 6 and 100 years old with an ectype at 11.08. The most affected ethnic group was Bambara with 38.6% (n = 114) followed by Fulani with 15.6% (n = 46). Students were the most affected at 24.7% (n = 73), followed by traders at 10%. The victims coming from outside Bamako are the most predominant with 22.4% (n = 66) followed by those of commune IV of Bamako 15.6% (n = 46). In 92.2% of the cases the mechanism was direct with n = 272. Of the lesions recorded in our study, wounds came first with 53.2% of cases. Radiography was the most used imaging at 44.7% (n = 89) followed by computed tomography at 34.7% (n = 69). The hemoperitoneum objectified by abdominal ultrasound represented 29.3% (n = 12). Fractures embarrure associated with bruising-hemorrhagic bruises were the most predominant with 13.4% (n = 10) objectified by brain scan. Conclusion: We note that the phenomenon of violence has reached worrying proportions, especially among young adults, particularly among students and is observed in all so-cio-professional layers. The polymorphism of these injuries caused by the predominant use of knives must draw the attention of our authorities to take measures to reduce these aggressions.
