摘要: Objectives : To determine the unmet anaesthesia need in a low resource region. Introduction Surgery and services low- middle-income countries (LMICs) are under-equipped, under- staffed, unable to meet current surgical need. There is little objective measure as true extent nature of Without such an understanding it impossible formulate  solutions. Therefore, we re-examined Surgeons OverSeas (SOSAS) data to  extrapolate Methods For untreated conditions identified by SOSAS, assigned anaesthetic technique required carry out procedure. The chosen was based on common practice Procedures were categorized into minimal anaesthesia, spinal regional anaesthesia,  ketamine/monitored care (MAC), general endotracheal (GETA). Discussions Ninety-two per cent (687 745) Sierra Leone would require some form anaesthesia. Seventeen (125 MAC, 22% (167 53% (395 GETA. Conclusion Analyses this can provide guidance rational efficient production and  distribution personnel, drugs equipment. Keywords cluster-randomized, cross-sectional, countrywide survey.
