The Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand joined the Thai Red Cross Society to provide relief in southern Thailand. The objective of this article is to characterize the emergency surgical patients and anesthesia profiles of tsunami victims at Phang\u2010Nga Provincial Hospital.<\/jats:p>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Available records from the operating room and anesthesia unit of Phang\u2010Nga Provincial Hospital, together with laboratory and administrative data, during the period 26\u201331 December 2004 were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics.<\/jats:p>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Thai Red Cross teams provided surgical emergency services for 107 cases during 28\u201330 December 2004. Ninety\u2010three cases (86%) were Caucasian, one (0.9%) was Japanese and nine (8.4%) were Thai. ASA physical status classifications of 1, 2 and 3 were present in 87.8%, 8.4% and 0.4%, respectively. The majority of injuries comprised multiple soft tissue wounds with severe infection. Eighty\u2010five per cent of cases received debridement and 14.0% tendon or nerve repair or fixation of bone. The anesthesia choices were general endotracheal with rapid sequence induction and intubation (69.2%), general under mask (19.6%), total intravenous anesthesia (4.7%), spinal anesthesia (3.7%) and local anesthesia (2.8%). Anesthesia\u2010related problems included a lack of pre\u2010operative laboratory investigation, hypovolemia, severe wound infection with early sepsis and aspiration pneumonia. Common intra\u2010operative complications included hypotension and oxygen desaturation from pulmonary aspiration or lung contusion. There was one case of post\u2010operative reintubation and no peri\u2010operative mortality.<\/jats:p>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Anesthesia\u2010related problems in tsunami victims included pulmonary aspiration, hypovolemia, sepsis and lack of pre\u2010operative laboratory investigation. General anesthesia was the most common anesthetic technique. Common intra\u2010operative complications included hypotension and oxygen desaturation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2006.00947.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,14]],"date-time":"2006-02-14T17:18:00Z","timestamp":1139937480000},"page":"320-323","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Anesthesia for Indian Ocean tsunami\u2010affected patients at a southern Thailand provincial hospital"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Charuluxananan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Bunburaphong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Tuchinda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Vorapaluk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"O.","family":"Kyokong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","unstructured":"World Health Organization.Tsunami & Health: Situation Report No. 31.January 29 2005.
