Prevalence and risk factors of acute backache after spinal anesthesia in surgical procedures at Public Hospitals in Sana'a City, Yemen
Background: Spinal anesthesia is one of the routinely anesthetic procedures done in practice. Post spinal backache is one of the complications causing discomfort in patients, leading to rejection of its use for next operations.
objective: The aim of this work is to assess the prevalence and factors associated with backache after spinal anesthesia from January to August at Public Hospitals in Sana'a City, Yemen.
Method: based cross-sectional study design was conducted. All patients who underwent spinal anesthesia at Public Hospitals in Sana'a City, Yemen were included. They were selected by systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected by three BSC anesthetists and supervised by one MSC anesthetist. Data were entered into SPSS version 20 program for analysis. Odd ratio and 95% confidence interval were computed.
Result: Multivariate logistic analysis was used to identify factors associated with post spinal backache. A total of 118 participants were
Common factors associated with post spinal backache from multivariate logistic regression at postoperative 1st, 2nd, 3rd days were history of previous backache and spinal anesthesia. Our study confirmed that prevalence of post spinal backache at post-operative 1st, 2nd, 3rd days data showed 26.6%, 21.35%, 14.9%of the patients respectively.
