ABSTRACT
Objective: In this study our main objective is to evaluateanesthesia techniques for reductions in intraoperative andpostoperative complications and post-operative morbidity andmortality of stroke patients in ICU.Method: This Retrospective study was carried out at theDepartment of Surgery, tertiary care hospital, Dhaka from June2017 to June 2018 where 120 patients who underwent differenttypes of surgery were randomized to receive thoracic epiduralanalgesia along with general anaesthesia in Group-A (60patients) and only GA in Group-B (60 patients) were includedthe study.Results: During the study, most of the patients belong to 41-50years age group for both Group A (47.78%) and group B(43.34%). Most of the patients in group A faced cardiac surgeryand in group most of the patients faced neurologic surgerybefore stroke. Also, 89% of Group-A patients stay in ICU for39-4 hours whereas Group B it was 11%.Conclusion: From our results; we can say that, TEA incombination with general anesthesia for surgery iscomparatively safe rather than general anesthesia whichreduces stroke development in patients. Further study isneeded for better outcome.
