Outcome Analysis

This was an elective procedure. Why was it rushed through when the respiratory tract was not adequately prepared? The key question is, would the doctors themselves not have known? The first surgery used tracheal intubation general anesthesia. Performing tracheal intubation anesthesia when there are airway issues—would the doctors not have known about such risks? The second surgery used inhalation general anesthesia and proceeded smoothly, which in turn negated the necessity of the previous tracheal intubation general anesthesia. So what exactly was the reason for using two different general anesthesia methods? Only they themselves know the answer.

Audit Intervention

The key issue was that there was no contact with this website before the procedure. Hernia repair, if there are no special circumstances, can be postponed. For example, wait until the respiratory symptoms have completely resolved before considering hernia surgery.
