| Introduction: Transportation of patients from operating room to recovery can cause hymodynamic changes. Factors that can affect hemodynamic and O2sat include: type of anesthetic, duration of surgery, transportation, age, previous underlying disease, …. There are poorly documented studies about such changes in children. So, the goal of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamic and O2sat variabilities among children at recovery room.
Materials & Methods: In this prospective-discriptive study, 120 children aged 1-12 years undergoing minor surgery with general anesthesia were investigated. Systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure and O2sat were measured before the anesthesia and surgery, immediately before transfer to recovery and after arrival at recovery room. Data was analyzed by SPSS software.
Findings: Mean systolic, diastolic, mean arterial blood pressure and O2sat in recovery room decreased and pulse rate increased significantly compared with the other times, (P<0.05).
Discussion & Conclusion: Hypotension can be due to hypoxemia, decreasing in venous return and cardiac output. Tachycardia may be the result of compensatory response to hypotension, pain, hypoxia, and the stress due to extubation. Hypoxia may indicate upper airway obstruction, atelectasia and anesthetic depression. It can be suggested that careful and rapid transfer of children and O2 supplement during transfering to recovery room can prevent instability of the above parmeters. |
