Any medical officer or surgeon who intends to practice in tropical or young developing countries must be proficient in the use of local and spinal anaesthetics because of severe shortage of anesthetists and anesthetic machines. We have presented 95 cases operated on by us in three "peripheral" hospitals in the Western State of Nigeria. These cases included gastrectomy; cholecystectomy, vagectomy and pyloroplasty and splenectomy. We have also presented our method of administering spinal anaesthetics and of preventing major complication of cardiac arrest. We have reviewed briefly the physiology and complication of spinal anaesthesia.
由于麻醉师和麻醉机严重短缺，任何打算在热带或年轻发展中国家执业的医务人员或外科医生都必须熟练掌握局部麻醉和脊髓麻醉的使用方法。我们展示了在尼日利亚西部州的三家“外围”医院由我们实施手术的95个病例。这些病例包括胃切除术、胆囊切除术、迷走神经切断术和幽门成形术以及脾切除术。我们还展示了我们实施脊髓麻醉和预防心脏骤停等主要并发症的方法。我们简要回顾了脊髓麻醉的生理学和并发症。
