Anaesthesia in rural Tanzania.

E Kimaro1, R M Towey.   

Abstract

A survey of the anaesthetic services in rural Tanzania was carried out in an area of 67500 km2 and population of 4 million in order to assess the quality of anaesthesia and the major obstacles to good practice. Lack of draw-over vaporizers, Ayre's T-pieces, and a supply of oxygen were found to be the major obstacles to safe practice in this area of Africa.
