The Role of Regional Anesthesia under Field Conditions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2012
Abstract
The authors, who served as anesthesiologists for 15 months at an International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) surgical field hospital in a Cambodian refugee camp, report their anesthesiologic experience with 2,906 patients. In spite of preferential use of regional anesthetic techniques, general anesthesia was required in 68% of the cases. Local infiltration anesthesia was applied in 21% of the cases, conduction anesthesia in 3%, and spinal anesthesia in 8%.
