Abstract

This study is a descriptive investigation for understanding factors influencing the length of stay in the postanesthesia care unit of elderly patients. Retrospective investigation was conducted on 300 patients aged 65 or older among those who had received an operation under general anesthesia and treated in postanesthesia care unit of hospital C located in Gyeonggi-do, from January 1 to December 31, 2014. The patients' average postanesthesia care unit stay was found to be 48.4 minutes and the 30-59 minute section accounted for the highest part with 58.0%. The postanesthesia care unit stay time according to intra-operative factors showed significant differences depending upon muscle relaxants, transfusion, ABGA, body temperature and total hours under anesthesia. Concerning the post anesthesia care unit stay length according to post-operative factors, significant differences were observed depending upon complications, PCA device, and circulatory drug use. In order to find out factors influencing the post anesthesia care unit stay length, the multiple regression analysis was conducted. As a result, the circulatory drug use and intra-operative lower body temperature were found to have an effect on the post anesthesia care unit stay length with the total explanatory power of 13%. Based on these findings above, it is deemed helpful to carefully monitor factors related to the post anesthesia care unit stay length and provide swift response accordingly for shorter post anesthesia care unit stay time of elderly general anesthesia patients.

본 연구는 노인 전신마취 환자의 회복실 체류시간에 영향을 미치는 융합적 요인들을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 경기도 소재 C대학병원에서 2014년 1월 1일부터 2014년 12월 31일까지 전신마취하에 수술을 받고 회복실에 입실하였던 환자 중 65세 이상인 환자 300명을 대상으로 후향적으로 자료 수집을 하였다. 회복실 체류시간은 평균 48.4분으로 나타났으며, 회복실 체류시간 30-59분이 58.0%로 가장 많았다. 수술중 요인에 따른 회복실 체류시간 정도는 근이완제, 수혈, 동맥혈가스 검사, 체온 그리고 총 마취시간에 따라 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 수술후 요인에 따른 회복실 체류시간 정도는 합병증, 자가 통증 조절기, 순환기계 약물사용에 따라 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 회복실 체류시간에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보기 위해 다중 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 수술 후 '순환기계 약물사용', '수술 중 저체온'이 회복실 체류시간에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었고 설명력은 13%로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 회복실 체류시간 관련요인들을 모니터링하고 신속하게 처치하여 교정하는 것이 노인 전신마취 환자의 회복실 체류시간의 단축에 기여할 것으로 사려된다.
