Introduction
Pt. scheduled for elective surgery are usually1. Optimal physical and mental condition 2. Definitive surgical diagnosis 3. Well controlled coexisting medical diseases In contrast, Pt. with a surgical emergency may have1. Uncertain diagnosis 2. Uncontrolled coexisting diseases 3. Cardiovascular, resp. And metabolic derangements
Introduction(contd)
Thus in practice of emergency anaesthesia to be prepared for all potential complications including vomiting Regurgitation hypovolumia Haemorrage Abnormal reaction of drugs Electrolyte disturbance Renal impairment etc.
Pre operative preparation and method of anaesthesia will depend on1. Surgical diagnosis 2. Magnitude of proposed surgery 3. How urgently surgery is required

Factors which delayed gastric emptying 1. Shock 2. Pain, fear , anxiety 3. Late pregnency 4. Deep sedation 5. Solid foods
Techniques of anaesthesia
It is important to recognize the pt. who may have significant gastric residue and who is in danger of aspiration. The anaesthetic management of such pt. may be described in 5 phases1. Preparation 2. Induction 3. Maintanance 4. Reversal and emergence 5. Post operative management
Techniques of anaesthesia(contd)
Phase-I
Preparation: a) Insertion of N-G tube b) Clear oral antacides(Na-citrate) to raise the pH of gastric contents c) Pre operative administration of H2 receptor
antagonist
Techniques of anaesthesia
Phase-II
Induction: Rapid sequence induction: Indications: 1. Full stomach 2. Pregnant pt. 3. Bowel obstruction 4. Morbid obesity
Phase-III
Maintanance of anaesthesia: 1. N2O 50-66% with O2 depending on patients condition; 2. Volatile anaesthetic agent with appropriate concentration. 3. NMBA: Rocuronium and atracuronium is drugs for routine use. Pancuronium is usefull in pt. with hypovolumia as it increases arterial pressure.
Phase-IV
Reversal and emergence:
After insertion of last skin suture1. Discontinuation of anaesthetic drugs 2. Ventilation manually 3. Neostigmine and atropine are given in one bolus. 4. Extubation of trachea done after protective airway reflex become because chance of aspiration is great. 5. Level of consciousness should be assessed.
Phase- V
Post operative management: 1. Proper analgesia (eg. Morphine 0.2 mg/kg) 2. Fluid balance : maintanance and abnormal loss. 3. Monitoring of vital signs
Circulation:
Haemorrhage is the most common cause of shock in the injured pt. Pt. with major trauma often require urgent restoration of circulatory blood volume. Isotonic electrolyte are used for initial resuscitation and 1-2 litre Hartmann.s solution is given rapidly and pt. response is assessed. Whole blood is ideal fluid for restoration of blood volume in the haemorrhage shock. If cross matched blood is not yet available a synthetic colloid solution may be given.
On arrival in the theatre, the pt. is placed on operation table. 100% O2 is given. Anaesthesia should be induced so that surgery can start as soon as possible. Induction: Rapid sequence induction using Ketamin (0.3-0.7 mg/kg) Ketamin should not be used in pt. with significant head injury. Etomidate 0.1-0.3 mg/kg is an alternative for Normovolumic pt. Pancuronium and Rocuronium is given in small incremental dose to maintain relaxation. In shock state MAC value is approached more rapidly so volatile agent should be reduced.
