CK Flashcards
pre surgery - cardiovascular RF
- EF below 35
- recent MI (must be 6months before, if not, admit to ICU to optimize)
- CHF (optimize medically)
cardiovascular tests needed prior to surgery
- EKG
- stress test
- echo for stractural disease and EF
if under 35 yearsol with no history –> only EKG
pre surgery - when PFT
- known lung disease
2. smoking
pre surgery in patients in dyalisis
dialysis 24 hour before
intubation in facial trauma
crycothyroidotomy
intubation in cervical trauma
with flexible bronchoscopy
SIRS criteria
2 or more
- body Q less than 36 or more than 38
- HR more than 90
- tachypena more than 20 or PCO2 less than 32
- wbc less than 4 or more than 12
Barium in esophagus leakage
Never
Tests contraindicated in diverticulitis
Barium enema + coloniscopy
Most accurate test for cholecystitits
HIDA
Methylnatrexone (Relistor)
Alleviate obstruction from stool impaction in patients on chronic opioids
Fecal incontinence
Continuous or recurrent uncontrolled passage of fecal material (more than 10 ml) for at least 1 month in an individual older than 3
fecal incontinence - diagnosis
- clinical history combined with flexible sigmoidoscopy or anoscopy as the best initial test
- the most accurrate is anorectal manometry
- if history of anatomy injury –> endorectal manometry
fecal incontinence - treatment
3 forms
- medical therapy: bulking agents (fibers)
- biofeedback: exercises + muscle strenthening
- if fails: sugery
SIRS criteria
2 or more
- body Q less than 36 or more than 38
- HR more than 90
- tachypena more than 20 or PCO2 less than 32
- wbc less than 4 or more than 12
