Summary: | The mortality rate is the number of deaths in general or by spesific causes in a
population, according to the scale size of the population per unit of time. Anesthesiarelated
mortality is a basic or primary measurement of anaesthesia quality and safety.
Reduction of mortality associated with anesthesia is part of an anaesthetic
management including optimization of preoperative anesthesia, a good anesthetic
management, and the postoperative treatment. Research on anesthesia-related
mortality was intense enough to increase the anesthetized patient safety
improvements.
The aim of this study was to determine the number of anesthesia-related
mortality at Dr Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta in the Year 2010 � 2011.
An observational retrospective cohort design was used in this study, comparing two
groups of subjects who have different variables. All anaesthesia patient data in 2010-
2011 in Dr Sardjito General Hospital taken from the medical records department of
Dr Sardjito General Hospital then the mortality rate was calculated with the criteria of
death < 24 hours post operative/anesthesia on categiry 1 where it is reasonably certain
that death or morbidity was caused by the anesthesia or other factors under the
control of the anesthetist
