AAA repair Flashcards
What is an AAA repair
- repair an mannerism, 8cm
what is the incision site of an AAA repair
consequences of prolonged anaesthetic
- decrease FRC
- increase secretions, and inability to cough because of pain at incision site.
- risk of hospital acquired infections due to open wounds
- decrease lung capacity
what happens to the lung during surgery and why it’s capacity decrease
types of general aesthetic
treatment for someone who has had an AAA repair and been under prolonged surgery
problems list after surgery for an AAA repair after general anaesthetic
- get the moving with heart rate monitor and
- position to increase FRC
- education around obesity , diet , exercise and smoking
- increase supported cough through ACBT - there would be increase secretions without deep breathing exercises
- breathing management, pacing and position of ease
- monitor patient due to risk of respirator failure
- ventilation or pro-lactic assisted cough machines
why should someone be aware of deep breathing exercises when using ACBT after surgery day 1
- the lungs are already hyper inflated
how does positioning increase FRC
why is there increase secretions following surgery
- due to surgery and aesthetics
consequences of a hyper inflated lung
consequences of a hyper inflated lung
- can lead to emphysema when the alveolar collapse and stick onto each other or become hard.
