Cancer Flashcards
Pre Op for CA
dx, surg for CA? location mets n/v pain-how control, with what airway meds
lung CA concern
oxygenation
Breast CA concern
anxiety, IV/BP placement
GI/Liver CA concern
metabolic, elyte, fluid changes
dec Albumin=edema
BP issues and free drug
Brains CA concern
HA, sz
don’t use drugs that lower sz threshold
Throat/Thyroid CA concerns
swallowing and airway
surgery invasive: minimally, moderately, highly
min: little tissue trauma, min BL
mod: some disruption of physiology, some BL, may need invasive monitoring, ICU
HIgh: signif disruption of physiology, can require transfusion, ICU admit
Lung CA/procedure
1associated with CAD
2pulm insufficiency after resection- check RA O2sat
3high BL: H&H, T&S, T&C
Bronchial/neck CA
1AIRway mgmt- imagining
2dysphagia, difficulty breathing
3signif BL
4lack of access to airway during case
CA ROS: Heme
anemic-BM suppression for chemo
neutropenia, thrombocytopenia
Thrombosis: pancreatic CA
**labs: CBC
CA ROA: Pulm
pulm edema, CHF, pleural effusion, pneumonitis
Squamous cell: hyperca
Adenocarcinoma: hypercoagulable, osteoarthistis
Large cell: gynecomastic
Small cell: inappropriate ADH, eptopic corticotropic, Eaton-Lambers syndrome (muscle weakness)
CA ROS: Neuromuscular
peripheral neuropathy
SC compression
Eaton-Lambers syndrome- muscle weakness like myasthenia gravis
CA ROS: Anorexia/wt loss
DONT turn off hyperalimentation, if do of hypoglycemic
CA ROS: Elyte
hyperca due to bone mets
Na and K changes due to N/V
CA ROS: adrenal insufficiency
tumor or from corticosteroids
