Obstetrics and Gynecology

International Conference on

edical services in general, and anesthetic services, in

Sudan have been vulnerable to changes secondary

to the socio-economic factors over the last few decades.

This cross-state survey aims to identify the current set up of

obstetric anesthesia services in 19 hospitals - representing

all public hospitals in Khartoum State with maternity units-

and audit them against internationally set standards. This

is a cross-sectional descriptive non-interventional study.

Questionnaires- based on the World Federation of Societies

of Anesthesiologists (WFSA) Safe Anesthesia Standards- were

distributedtoAnestheticdepartments’headsatthetimeofthe

study (first to fourteenth of May 2016) of 19 public hospitals.

This is the total number of public hospitals delivering obstetric

services in Khartoum State. All filled out questionnaires were

returned (response rate 100%). Collected information/data

provided were subsequently entered an Excel sheet and

analyzed. Results were tabulated. There was a considerable

variation in the capacity of the surveyed hospitals in terms of

human resources, caseload and set up. Improper utilization

of already deficient anesthesiologist in covering high load

obstetrics services was also noticed. All the hospitals fell short

of recommendations for minimumstandards set by theWorld

Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists (WFSA). There is a

vast gap between international set standards and the current

set up of obstetric anesthesia in Khartoum State public

hospitals. Necessary concerted efforts from governmental,

non-governmental and professional bodies are warranted to

improve obstetric anesthetic services in Khartoum State.
