[Complications related to anesthesia method in the University of Occupational and Environmental Health Hospital].
BACKGROUND
Complications related to anesthesia remain a problem. We studied the incidence of complications during anesthesia in 2758 patients who had undergone anesthesia in the University of Occupational and Environmental Health Hospital.


METHODS
We checked the anesthesia records retrospectively and analyzed the collected data for the incidence of complications during anesthesia.


RESULTS
The total incidence of complications during anesthesia was 12.2%. The incidences of complication are estimated to be 13.4% in inhalation anesthesia, 11.9% in inhalation anesthesia plus epidural, spinal or conduction block, 8.9% in CSEA, zero % in epidural anesthesia and 7.5% in spinal anesthesia.


CONCLUSIONS
The incidence of complications in inhalation anesthesia was almost as same as that in inhalation anesthesia plus epidural, spinal or conduction block. More study should be necessary to prevent complications related to anesthesia.
