Anesthesia personnels should work at the operation room and face high working strain. There were few reports regarding the relation of working stress in anesthesia trainee and healthy status. This study was designed to investigate the change of working stress before and after anesthesia training. Matherials and Methods: Twenty anesthesia trainees were enrolled in this study. The evaluation tools included SF-36 health survey, qi-deficiency and blood-stasis diagnosis criteria by Katsutoshi Terasawa, tongue-viewing system, pulse diagnosis system and heart rate variablility. They received the evalutation before and after training for 3 months respectively. Results: There were twenty trainees enrolled in the study, 18 females and 2 males, the average age of 26.75 ± 3.31 y/o, average weight of 54.15 ± 10.81 kgs, and average height of 160.35 ± 5.09 cms. There was no significant difference about the qi-deficiency and blood stasis diagnosis criteria by Katsutoshi Terasawa. According to the SF-36 health survey, the role-physical, general health, vitality, role-emotioal, mental health, and mental component summary had significant differences. Two senior Chinese medical doctors made the diagnosis accoriding to the image from tongue-viewing system. There were significant differences in qi-stagnancy and blood-stasis. According to the power spectral analysis, middle reading of inch pulse and deep reading of foot pulse at right hand had significant differences. According to the heart rate variability, there were significant differences in low-frequency power, high frequency power and the ratio of low-frequency power and high frequency power. Conclusions: We found that there were significant changes after anesthesia training. They might be due to the heavy working strain and stress. The mechanisms and effects needed further evaulation.
