Abstract
- A total of 18,413 cases had anesthesia at Maryknoll Hospital in Pusan from January 1970 to December 1979. These data were analyzed statistically and the following results were obtained. 1) The number of general anesthesia cases steadily increased while those of local anesthesia decreased. 2) Of all departments, general surgery had the largest number of cases. 3) Sex ratio was equal when the OB-GYN cases were included. 4) The 20-30yr age group numbered nearly the total number of cases. 5) Geriatric and pediatric cases increased progressively. 6) Among anesthetic agents used, ether was used mostly, but halothane was used with increasing frequency. 7) Of the anesthetic techniques used in general anesthesia, the circle system was mostly used and the non-rebreathing system was used for all pediatric cases, which also have increased in number. 8) For induction of anesthesia, thiopental sodium was mainly used. Since 1975, pancuronium was mainly used in addition to S.C.C. fro muscle relaxation.
