Article Synopsis
- A study in Madagascar examined the clinical factors that contribute to mortality in patients experiencing variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension, finding a mortality rate of 16%.
- Key risk factors identified included prior endoscopic band ligation (much higher risk), high heart rate (tachycardia), and presence of ascites.
- The research underscores the importance of recognizing these risks in order to improve patient outcomes in settings with limited medical resources.
Objective: The aim of this study was to present the first cases of spinal anesthesia, in newborns and infants, preterm/ex-prematures, in order to determine its feasibility and its potential harmlessness, in Antananarivo-Madagascar. Indeed, spinal anesthesia is a low cost technique and can limit respiratory complications, postoperative apnea a contrario with pediatric general anesthesia which can lead to perioperative risks.
Results: In a retrospective, descriptive, 7-year (2013 to 2019) period study, conducted in the University Hospital Joseph Ravoahangy Andrianavalona, 69 patients' data files planned to have spinal anesthesia were recorded.
