Abstract:

Background: Despite advances in anesthesia, the risk of complications in pediatric anesthesia remains a major concern. The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with perianesthetic complications in this specialty. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study from June 1 to December 31, 2024, conducted in four hospitals in Kinshasa, which included children from birth to 15 years of age undergoing anesthesia for emergency or scheduled surgical or diagnostic procedures in compliance with ethical rules. Data were analyzed using the R 4.4.2 programming language (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Austria) for p < 0.05. Results: 394 children were registered. They were male (57%, sex ratio 1.3), with a mean age of 4.5 ± 4.6 years (from 2 days to 15 years), mostly infants (33.5%) and classified ASA I (60%). Anesthesia conducted by a senior (89%) was general (82.7%) with tracheal intubation (76%), for a scheduled intervention (60%) performed by a senior surgeon (87%) with the predominance of digestive (47%), orthopedic (13%) and urological (10%) surgery. Complications occurred in 28.4%, in per-anesthetic (25.4%) mainly respiratory (14.5%), and in post-operative (16%) often cardiorespiratory cardiac arrest (5.8%) and desaturation (5.6%). Mortality was 7.1% at 3 days and 10.4% at 30 days. ASA score ≥ 3, urgent nature of the intervention, prolonged duration of surgery and reinterventions were major risk factors for morbidity and mortality. Conclusion: Compared to previous years, the practice of pediatric anesthesia in our country is improving both in terms of personnel and anesthetic products, with a reduction in the frequency of complications. It seems imperative to optimize the condition of patients and improve intraoperative monitoring for even safer anesthesia. And promote the construction of pediatric hospitals with critical care or resuscitation units and adapted operating theaters, equipped with advanced monitoring equipment for better care of children.
