[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.
