[Complications related to anesthesia 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 2688 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 8.7%:5.5% related to circulation and 1.9% to respiration.


CONCLUSIONS
Complications related to anesthesia should be prevented as much as possible through anesthesiologists' efforts in protocol development and skilled assistance.
