Abstract
- We have made a clinical analysis of emergency operations which were performed from January to December 1983 at the Chonbuk National University Hospital. The Clinical analysis compared sex and age distribution, physical status, frequency of emergency operation, department, anesthetic method, time, and seasonal distribution. The results were as follows: 1) About forty-eight percent of emergency patients were between 20 to 40. 2) Emergency operative cases were about forty-one percent of all anesthetized patients. 3) About forty-three percent of emergency operations were performed by the Department of General Surgery and the most common surgical operation was appendectomy. 4) Emergency operations in the winter were significantly less common than those of other seasons. 5) About forty percent of emergency operations were performed during daytime office hours.
