Objective:
To evaluate the knowledge of digestive surgeons and anesthesiologists about péri-operative under nutrition.
Methodology:
this was a cross-sectional investigation in the anesthesia resuscitation and digestive surgery departments of the CHU Yopougon, Cocody, Treichville and Bouaké. We counted digestive surgeons, anesthesiologists survey period (August 2018).
Results:
Out of 50 questionnaires given to the doctors included in the survey, 34 returned the completed questionnaires. We had 52.9% of surgeons and 47.1% of intensive care anesthetists. 88.2% of the respondents gave an "approximately correct" answer to the definition of under nutrition. 14.7% gave "approximately correct" answers on the important items for the diagnosis of under nutrition. 52.9% knew exactly the ideal time to assess under nutrition. 58.8% knew the ideal time for the management of under nutrition. 14.7 gave approximately correct answers about the average of managing under nutrition.
Conclusion:
Digestive surgeons and anesthetists at the University Hospitals of Cocody, Treichville, Yopougon and Bouaké have generally insufficient knowledge and practices in relation to malnutrition and need training in this area.
