16
Q

Overall risk of complications HSC

A

0.22-0.28%

17
Q

Risk of hemorrhage with HSC

A

0.03%

18
Q

Management of localized bleeding HSC

A

If can visualize entire cavity and discreet bleeding noted, can coagulate

19
Q

Management of diffuse bleeding HSC

A

If no evidence of perforation, need tamponade (ex: bimanual massage or placement of balloon/catheter)

20
Q

Indications for observation with uterine perforation on HSC

A

If low-risk for vascular/visceral injury
If perforation with blunt instrument
Absence of significant bleeding

21
Q

Indications for laparoscopy with uterine perforation on HSC

A

If perforation with sharp instrument
Suction
Electrosurgical device
Significant bleeding
Risk of vascular or visceral injury warrants further assessment (laparotomy if unstable)

22
Q

Management of urinary tract injury on HSC

A

Intraoperative: Cystoscopy
Post-operative: CT urogram

23
Q

Management of intestinal tract injury on HSC

A

Intraoperative: LSC or laparotomy
Post-operative: CT scan

24
Q

Pathophysiology of vasovagal reaction

Increased cardio-vagal tone >
Bradycardia >
Decreased peripheral sympathetic activity >
Venous dilation >
