Patients were subjected to post-discharge follow-up (by telephone) in order to investigate the potential complications of outpatient general anesthesia or deep sedation that could develop in disabled dental patients discharged from the hospital. The ultimate aim of this study was to establish an appropriate response measure for such complications.
The caregivers of 79 disabled patients who underwent dental procedures under general anesthesia at our outpatient clinic were interviewed over telephone. Necessary care instructions were provided during the phone calls when required. The patient satisfaction level regarding the telephonic follow-up care was surveyed by additional telephone calls.
Most of the patients did not suffer any serious complications; however, some reported fever and bleeding. The data obtained in this study can be utilized towards the development of caregiver education pertaining to the ambulatory general anesthesia of dental patients with disabilities.
Additionally, we hope that the findings of this study will help minimize the effects of complications experienced by disabled dental patients undergoing ambulatory general anesthesia, as well as increase the overall patient satisfaction level.
对患者进行出院后随访（通过电话），以调查出院的残疾牙科患者可能出现的门诊全身麻醉或深度镇静的潜在并发症。本研究的最终目的是针对此类并发症建立适当的应对措施。
通过电话采访了在我们门诊接受全身麻醉牙科手术的79名残疾患者的护理人员。必要时在电话中提供了护理指导。通过额外的电话调查了患者对电话随访护理的满意度。
大多数患者未出现任何严重并发症；然而，一些患者报告有发烧和出血情况。本研究获得的数据可用于开展针对残疾牙科患者门诊全身麻醉的护理人员教育。
此外，我们希望本研究结果将有助于将接受门诊全身麻醉的残疾牙科患者所经历并发症的影响降至最低，并提高患者总体满意度。
