1: GENERAL ENDOSCOPIC PRINCIPLES Flashcards
Hypovolemic shock: Etiology
Decreased fluids
Hypovolemic shock: PE
GFlat neck veins, pallor, tachycardia
Distributive shock: Etiology
Increased ‘pipe’/vessel size
Distributive shock: Examples
Drug induced, sepsis, anaphylaxis
Distributive shock: PE
Flat neck veins, pallor, tachycardia
Obstructive shock: Etiology
‘Pipe’/Vessel obstruction
Obstructive shock: Examples
PE, tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade
Obstructive shock: PE
Variable, although often JVD but apparently euvolemic
Cardiogenic shock: Etiology
Pump problem
Cardiogenic shock: Examples
MI, arrythmia, cardiomyopathy
Cardiogenic shock: PE
JVD, tachycardia, cyanosis
Benefits LSC over laparotomy
Less EBL
Improved post-op pain
Decreased LOS
Faster return to activities
Fewer wound infections
Disadvantages of LSC compared to laparotomy
Longer operative time
Higher risk of urinary tract injuries
Higher risk of cuff dehiscence
Indications for laparotomy over LSC
Suspected extra-uterine pathology (ex: stage 3 ovarian cancer)
Adnexal masses concerning for cancer
Known or suspected malignancy
Patient considerations for laparotomy over LSC
Can patient tolerate increased intraabdominal pressure?
Adhesive disease?
Is patient hemodynamically stable? (THOUGH HEMODYNAMIC INSTABILITY SHOULD NOT BE CONTRAINDICATION TO LSC!!!)
Is hemodynamic instability a contraindication to LSC?
NO!!!!
Contraindications to HSC
Viable IUP
Pelvic infection
KNOWN cervical or uterine cancer
Inadequate experience or equipment
Support for OR HSC over office procedure
Patient intolerance
Severe cervical stenosis
Altered anatomy
Pregnancy test prior to HSC?
Delay for 2w after unprotected intercourse
Most important independent RF for malignancy?
Age (dramatic increase in malignancy risk after menopause)
RFs for ovarian cancer
AGE (most important)
White race
Nulliparity
Early menarche
Late menopause
Endometriosis
Radiologic factors concerning for ovarian malignancy
Cyst >10cm
Irregular borders
Papillary/solid components
Associated with ascites
Radiologic findings supportive of benign cyst
Thin, smooth walls
Absence of internal blood flow
Incidence of mass in post-menopausal time frame being benign
68%
Percent resolution of simple cyst in post-menopausal women
70%
Ddx for benign adnexal masses
Simple cyst
Cystadenoma
Fibroma
Paraovarian/paratubal cyst
Hydrosalpinx
Most common ovarian cancer
Epithelial
Discuss the management of post-menopausal adnexal masses
<3cm: No f/u
3cm-5cm: Surveillance, repeat US in 3mo
5-10cm: Surveillance or surgical exploration
>10cm: Surgery
CAVIAT - IF PT HAVING SYMPTOMS OR ELEVATED CA-125: SURGERY REGARDLESS OF SIZE
