Chapter 31 Flashcards
which position is most commonly used for patients undergoing urological and gyncological procedureas
lithotomy
pad points in lithotomy or you can get
pressure sore, never injury or compartment syndromes
can lose dorsiflexion of the foot if what nerve is affected if lateral knee rests against the strap support
peroneal never
medially placed strap supports can cause spaphenous nerve injury which is shown as
numbness along the medial calf
lithotomy position can have nerve injuries to sciatic and femoral nerves in the
lumbosacral plexus
hyperextension of the axilla can cause
brachial plexus damage
can get compartment syndrome of lower extremeties
pressure buildup
in lithotomy the FRC in combindation with steep trendelenburg
decreases, so you can get atelectasis and hypoxia
lithotomy bad for CHF makes it worse but can be better for
hypovolemia because blood is drained to central compartment
bp and CO may inc in lithotomy but get ____ when taken out of lithotomy
hypotension-take bp after legs are down, general anesthesia vasodialates
short duration and outpatient setting of cystos you use
gen anesthesia with lma
you can use spinal or epidural for cysto, but prefer spinal becuase after sensory blockade which is
5 min versus 20 min
sensory level __ provides exceelnt ansethesia for all cystoscopic procedures
T10
BPH is
benign prostatic hyperplasia leading to bladder outlet obsturction
TURP
transurethral resection of prostate
TURP can be done under regional or general
-surgical complications
most common surgical complications are clot retention , failure to void , chronic hematuria,, TURP syndrome, bladder perforation sepsis, DIC-disseminated intravascular coagulation
prostatic bleeding is hard to control
get type and screen and corss on anemica patients
TURP syndrome-opens extensive netowrk of venous sinuses in prostrate allowing absorption of
irrigating fluid
signs and symptoms of turp syndrome (less than 1%)
headache, restlessness, confusion cyanosis, dyspnea, arrhythmias, hypotension , seizures can be fatal
manifestations of TURP can be
circulatory fluid overload, water intox, toxicity from soluite in irrigating fluid
electrolyte solutions do what to electrocautery current
disperse so we have to use water-better visibility- hypotonicity lyses RBC
water can cause acute water intoxication so only for TUR of bladder tumors , for the TURP we use
slightly hypotonic nonelectrolyte irrigating solutions such as glycine 1.5% or sorbitol and mannitol .54%
you can have absorption of water because these fluids are hypotonic and high pressure irrigation can cause
absorption of solutes
absorption of TURP irrigation fluid depends on duration of resection and pressure of irrigaiton fluid. 1 hour and 20 mL/min absorbed. which can lead to
pulmonary congestion or pulmonary edema, in patients with limited cardiac reserve
hyponatremia-get symptoms when less than 120 meq/L, and below 100 you can get
acute IV hemolysis
can also absorb solutes-causing ______ with glycine solutions-circulatory depression and CNS toxicity
hyperglycemia
glycine is a
inhibitory neurotransmitter in CNS-causes blindness following TURP
degrading glycine gives hyperammonemnia after TURP where values reach
500 normal is 5-50
mannitol can make volume overload worse, and soribol and dextrose can cause
hyperglycemia
TURP treat hypoxemia, hypoperfusion, eliminate absorbed water
fluid restriction and IV furosemide, hypertonic saline, seizure with versed, phenytoin, ett intubation until metnal status normalizes
warm irrigating solutions for patients-hypothermia causes post opp shivering which may
disloge clots and promote post opp bleeding as well as physiological stress to patients with coexisting cardiopulmonary disease
less than 1% you can get ___ ___ from TURP
bladder perforation from rectoscop or overdistension of bladder with irrigation fluid
if you have perforation what would you suspect
sudden hypotension or hypertension, particulalry with acute , vagally mediated bradycardia
disseminated intravascular coagulation has been reported with ____
TURP-release of thromboplastins from prostate tissue into circulation during procedure-blood clots can form and block blood flow to tissues
TURP can cause dilutional ____
thrombocytopenia
if you have fibrinolysis you can treat with E-aminocarpoic acid (amicar) dose
5g and 1 g/h
to treat DIC , you have to give heparin in addition to replacing ___
clotting factors and platelets-consult hematologist
prostate is often colonized with bacteria nad may harder chronic infection so we worry about
baceria getting into blood stream- bacteremia following transurethra surgery is common- can lead to septicemia or septic shock
give prophylactic antibiotic before or TURP to decrease likelihood of
bactermeic and septic episodes- can easily get into venous sinuses, septicemia or septic shock
TURP can be done under
spinal, epidural anesthesia, with a T10, or general anesthesia
regional anesthesia for TURP may reduce incidence of
postop venous thrombosis, less likely to mask symptoms and signs of TURP syndrome or bladder perforation
acute hyponatremia from TURP syndrome
delay emergence from general anesthesia
metastaic disease involving lumbar spine is contraindication to
spinal or epidural anesthesia
what is best monitor for detecting early signs of TURP syndrome and bladder perfoation
evaluation of mental status
tachy or decrease in arterial oxygenation, or ischemic ecg changes may be early sign of
fluid overload
temperature monitoring to detect
hypothermia
blood loss for TURP is about 200-300 cc or
3-5 mL/min
might see post opp hemodilution from absorption of
irrigation fluid
what are the factors associated with intraop blood transfusion
procedure duration longer than 90 min and resection of 45 g of prostate tissues
ureteroscopy with stone extraction, stent placement, and intracorpeal lithotripsy and with medical expulsive therpay (MET) are firstl line therapy for
treatment of kidney stones
extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy ESWL for stones that are
4 mm to 2 cm, percutaneous and laparoscopic nephrolithotomy for larger or impacted stones
you can use MET , medical expulsive therapy for acute episodes of urolithiasis -stones 10 mm in diamerter- so you administer
alpha blockers tamsulosin (flowmax), doxazosin, terazolis or calcium channel blockers nidfedipine-lessens pain and inc rate of stone expulsion from several days to several weeks
during ESWL-repetitive high energy shocks (sound waves) generated and focused on stone-to break it. water or conductive gel serves to
couple generator to the patient. waves dont damage the tissue because tissue and water have the same acousitic density. difference in density with stone-creates shear and tear forces
stents are placed cystoscpically (eswl) prior to the procedure to allow the
stones to be turned into small pieces down the urinary tract
air-tissue interface-lung and intestine are ___ for ESWL
contraindication- can cuase tissue destruction, need to position the patient away from lungs and intestine for sound waves
other contraindications for eswls are
urinary obsturction below stone, untreated infection, bleeding diathesis, and pregnancy
relative contraindication for eswl
aortic aneursym or orthopedic prosthetic device
ecchymosis, bruising, or blistering of skin over treatment site is not uncommon for eswl and you can also get hematoma-explains post opp dec in
hematocrit
