Abstract

Objective: To reveal which anesthesia method operation room staff who are faced with anesthesia practices every day prefer and why, whenever a surgery is required for themselves or their relatives. Materials and Methods: A semi-structured questionnaire consisting of questions was sent to the 1000 operating room staffs who are working in different hospitals on different regions of Turkey by technological methods of communication (Google forms over the Internet, messenger, like WhatsApp). Age, gender, occupation and duration of occupation of participants, whether or not anesthesia was applied to them, and if applied the method, which anesthesia method they would prefer or not and why, and which anesthesia method they suggest to their relations were asked in questionnaire. Results: Of the participants aged between 20 and 60, 51.2% (n = 327) were men and 48.8% (n = 312) were women. 69 % (n = 440) of the participants indicated that anesthesia was applied to them for any reason, while 31% (n = 199) indicated that they were not anesthetized. While general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, peripheral nerve block methods were the most suitable methods for the participants, choice was regional anesthesia (spinal, epidural, combined spinal-epidural anesthesia) with 47%. The answer to the question of which anesthesia method do you recommend to your relatives and patients has been predominantly regional anesthesia. Conclusion: We found that regional anesthesia was more preferred in the operating room staff in Turkey. We believe that it will be possible to find out the direction of anesthesia preferences through larger studies and this situation may be important in terms of labor and cost planning.

Özet

Amaç: Anestezi uygulamaları ile her gün karşı karşıya olan ameliyathane çalışanlarının kendileri ya da yakınları ile ilgili bir cerrahi gerektiğinde hangi anestezi yöntemini tercih ettiklerini ve nedenlerini ortaya koymak. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yarı yapılandırılmış sorulardan oluşan bir anket, teknolojik iletişim yöntemleri ile (internet üzerinden Google forms, messenger, whatsapp gibi) Türkiye’nin farklı bölgelerinde ve farklı hastanelerinde görev yapan 1000 ameliyathane çalışanına ulaştırıldı. Yaş, cinsiyet, meslek ve süresi, kendilerine anestezi uygulanıp uygulanmadığı, uygulandı ise yöntemi, hangi anestezi yöntemini neden tercih edecekleri ya da etmeyecekleri ve hangi anestezi yöntemini neden önereceklerini kapsayan sorular soruldu. Bulgular: Yaşları 20 ila 60 arasında değişen katılımcıların %51.2’sini (n=327) erkekler, %48.8’ni (n=312) kadınlar oluşturuyordu. Katılımcıların % 69’u (n=440) herhangi bir nedenle kendilerine anestezi uygulandığını belirtirken %31’i (n=199) anestezi uygulanmadığını ifade etti. Katılımcılar için genel anestezi, rejyonal anestezi, periferik sinir bloğu yöntemlerinin üçünün de uygun olduğu cerrahi işlemlerde tercihin % 47 ile rejyonal anestezi (spinal, epidural, kombine spinal epidural anestezi) yönünde olduğu anlaşıldı. Yakınlarınıza ve hastalarınıza hangi anestezi yöntemini tavsiye edersiniz sorusuna ameliyathane çalışanlarının cevabı rejyonal anestezi ağırlıklı olmuştur. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de ameliyathane çalışanlarının daha çok rejyonal anestezi tercih ettiğini saptadık. Daha geniş katılımlı çalışmalar ile anestezi tercihlerinin ne yönde olacağının öğrenilebileceği ve bu durumun iş gücü ve maliyet planlaması açısından da önemli olabileceği kanısındayız.
