The Impact Of Anesthetization On Surgical Outcomes: A Review Of The Literature

Abstract

Anesthesia is a critical component of surgical procedures, but its impact on surgical outcomes is a topic of ongoing debate in the medical community. This study aimed to review the existing literature on the impact of anesthetization on surgical outcomes by analyzing secondary data from a range of studies. The research focused on the effects of various types of anesthesia, including general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and local anesthesia, on key indicators such as postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and patient mortality. The analysis revealed conflicting find[1]ings regarding the impact of anesthesia on surgical outcomes, with some studies suggesting that certain types of anesthesia may be associated with better outcomes, while others found no significant difference. Factors such as patient age, comorbidities, and surgical complexity were also shown to influence the relationship between anesthesia and surgical outcomes. In general, the review emphasizes the need for additional investigation to better understand the multifaceted association between anesthesia and surgical outcomes. By examining the existing literature on this topic, this study provides valuable insights that can inform clinical practice and help improve patient outcomes in surgical settings.
