Day stay anesthesia should include: rapid smooth onset; rapid recovery without residual side effects; absence of adverse effects (N/V); and providing postoperative analgesia. General anesthesia with multi-modalities (inhalation, intravenous and local anesthesia) may be preferable in day stay surgery. Future studies on new drugs and techniques for day stay anesthesia need comparing the increased coat of newer treatments with the potential financial savings resulting from earlier hospital discharge, reduced supplemental drugs, and earlier return to work.

Background: Dental injury as a result of oroendotracheal intubation during general anesthesia is very common. We report our experiences of using mouthguard to prevent dental injury during intubation based on our protocol. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled patients referred for preanesthetic evaluation, those patients with a history of any of the dental treatments to their anterior teeth listed on our fabrication protocol from January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010. Results: No cases of dental trauma during oroendotracheal intubation were reported among the 202 patients who used a protective device. 66% of the patients had risk factors for hard tissue damage aged 10-40 years. At the ages of 40-70 years, the incidence of risk group for periodontal damage was higher. Conclusions: Preanesthetic consultation was effective for preventing dental injury, so preanesthetic questionnaire and proper dental consultation would be helpful.

Autism is characterized with an abnormality of reciprocal social relatedness and of communication development. Also, autistic children show repetitive and stereotypical behavior pattern and deficiency of endurance against change. Dental problems related to autism are self-injury and trauma from accidents. Sometimes self-injury is due to discomfort resulting from restoration and local anesthesia. Also, gingivitis and multiple caries are common because of poor oral hygiene. Autistic children are anxious about visual and auditory stimuli because they don't understand the dental procedure. If the face of any changes in their daily life, their behavior becomes uncontrollable. In a setting such as the outpatient office, an autistic child's uncontrollable behavior makes it difficult to carry out proper treatment. If they need treatment under general anesthesia, it is very difficult to manage them in a ward as they are severly anxious about being admitted to a hospital. Therefore it is necessary to treat these children according to a specific management program under general anesthesia in an outpatient office. This case study reports of a 14 year old autistic teenager who although became uncontrollable because of the pain from multiple caries and from anxiety of the dental treatment eventually received treatment under general anesthesia and under conscious sedation in an outpatient office.

Wide-awake, local anesthesia, no tourniquet (WALANT) is a technique that removes the requirement for operations to be performed with a tourniquet, general/regional anesthesia, sedation or an anesthetist. We reviewed the WALANT literature with respect to the diverse indications and impact of WALANT to discuss the importance of future surgical curriculum integration. With appropriate patient selection, WALANT may be used effectively in upper and lower limb surgery; it is also a useful option for patients who are unsuitable for general/regional anesthesia. There is a growing body of evidence supporting the use of WALANT in more complex operations in both upper and lower limb surgery. WALANT is a safe, effective, and simple technique associated with equivalent or superior patient pain scores among other numerous clinical and cost benefits. Cost benefits derive from reduced requirements for theater/anesthetic personnel, space, equipment, time, and inpatient stay. The lack of a requirement for general anesthesia reduces aerosol generating procedures, for example, intubation/high-flow oxygen, hence patients and staff also benefit from the reduced potential for infection transmission. WALANT provides a relatively, but not entirely, bloodless surgical field. Training requirements include the surgical indications, volume calculations, infiltration technique, appropriate perioperative patient/team member communication, and specifics of each operation that need to be considered, for example, checking of active tendon glide versus venting of flexor tendon pulleys. WALANT offers significant clinical, economic, and operative safety advantages when compared with general/regional anesthesia. Key challenges include careful patient selection and the comprehensive training of future surgeons to perform the technique safely.

Dental treatment under general anesthesia is considered a good way for behavioral control in disabled patients. General anesthesia for disabled patients sometimes requires difficult airway management. In this case, intra-oral camera is great helpful to intubation. Originally, the intra-oral camera is designed to facilitate diagnosis dental disease. The intra-oral camera is very efficient on intubation. Laryngeal photo taken by Intra-oral camera can be good guide for difficult intubation. In this report, an 11-year-old boy with chromosomal anomaly received dental care under general anesthesia. And he had a potentially difficult airway. We achieved nasotracheal intubation successfully with intra-oral camera.

42 dentally handicapped patients who require general dental treatments but behavioral managements had been an obstacle to proper treatments were chosen and the author conducted dental treatment under outpatient general anesthesia. Followings are the conclusions 1. The average time for the treatment procedure was 2 hours and 1 minute and the average of 9.52 teeth were treated for individual patient indicating its high efficiency. 2. The average time for the recovery was 3 hours and 14 minutes and none of the patients showed any specific serious complications. 3. Treatments under outpatient general anesthesia can be a proper patient management method for the dentally handicapped patients if the patient selection is proper.

전신마취하에서의 치과치료는 자발적인 협조가 불가능하거나 전신적인 문제가 있는 경우, 다수의 치료를 한 번에 하고자 하는 경우 등에 행해진다. 이 연구는 서울대학교치과병원 장애인진료실에서 외래 전신마취하에 행해진 환자와 치과치료를 분석함으로써 보다 나은 장애인 진료 시스템을 위한 방안 제시에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 2002년 6월 11일부터 2006년 12월 31일까지 장애인진료실에서 치료 받은 432명의 환자들을 대상으로 조사한 결과 15세 이하의 환자가 50.46%로, 소아 및 청소년 환자가 높은 비율을 차지하고 있었다. 진료과는 보존과, 소아치과, 구강외과, 치주과, 보철과 순으로 나타났으며 치료내용을 보면 보존치료와 발치가 주를 이루고 있었다. 또 2회 이상 전신마취를 시행한 환자가 14.1%나 되었다. 본 연구는 장애인 환자를 위한 보다 포괄적인 치과 치료 및 진료과들 간의 긴밀한 협진 체계를 구축하고 필요한 인력과 설비를 보충함으로써 장애인 환자들에게 보다 보존적 인 치과치료와 편안한 치료 환경을 제공해야 할 필요성을 제시하고 있다.

의학적 관리가 필요하거나 공포로 인해 치과치료를 기피하는 경우 등 다양한 경우에서 소아환자의 치과치료는 일반적인 행동조절만으로는 불가능한 경우가 많다. 이에 최근 전신마취를 이용한 치과치료에 대한 관심이 증가하는 추세이다. 본 연구는 서울대학교치과병원 소아치과에서 시행된 전신마취 하 치과치료에 대한 분석을 위하여 시행되었다. 2011년 10월부터 2015년 12월까지 서울대학교치과병원 소아치과에서 만 18세 미만의 환자를 대상으로 시행한 전신마취 1378례(1322명)에 대한 자료를 조사하였다. 성별은 남자가 805명(60.9%)로 여성보다 더 많았으며, 연령은 5 - 9세(56.0%)가 가장 많았다. 치료 전 전신상태는 ASA 1등급 67.8%, 2등급 이상이 32.2%이었다. 주된 치료는 치아우식증 치료(51.1%)가 가장 많았으며, 다음으로 외과적 치료(42.2%)가 많았다. 전신마취는 행동조절법 중 하나로 다양한 장점이 있으며, 협조가 부족한 환자에서 유용한 방법이 될 수 있다.

목 적 : 정류고환은 소아비뇨기영역에서 가장 흔한 기형으로 여러 합병증을 일으키며, 그 중 비촉지성 정류고환은 전체 정류고환 중 약 20%를 차지한다. 비촉지성 정류고환의 진단방법은 여러 가지가 있으나 아직 확립되지 않아 임상에서 통상적으로 적용될 수 있는 비촉지성 정류고환의 진단방법을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2000년 3월부터 2005년 2월까지 본원에서 수술한 정류고환 129례 중 비촉지성 정류고환 31례를 대상으로 초음파검사, 전신마취하 신체검사, 복강경검사를 실시한 후 각 검사의 효과와 필요성을 분석하였다. 결 과 : 비촉지성 정류고환 31례에서 초음파검사상 13례(41.9%)에서 고환을 발견하였고 18례(58.1%)에서 고환을 발견할 수 없었고, 전신마취하 신체검사상 15례(48.4%)에서 고환을 촉지하였고 16례(51.6%)에서 고환을 촉지할 수 없었다. 초음파 검사와 전신마취하 신체검사에서 고환을 발견 못한 16례를 대상으로 복강경 검사를 실시하여 16례 고환 모두의 위치와 상태를 알 수 있었다. 결 론 : 신체검사상 고환을 촉지할 수 없는 비촉지성 정류고환에서 초음파검사, 전신마취하 신체검사, 복강경검사 순으로 진행하는 것이 비용과 효과 면에서 가장 좋은 진단과정으로 생각한다.

General anesthesia is often required for mentally retarded children undergoing extensive dental treatment. We experienced a case of dental treatment under general anesthesia in a 14-year-old boy with mental retardation. He was treated on an outpatient basis. He was diagnosed of Noonan syndrome and received heart surgery when he was six years old. Induction using thiopental and vecuronium was uneventful and nasotracheal intubation were carried out. General anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane for 2.5 hours. After monitoring the patient for 2 hours and confirming his recovery, he was discharged from the day care unit. In summary, we report this successful anesthetic management of a mentally retarded child during dental treatment in as an out-patient.
