complications Flashcards
anesthesia related death rate
1 per 100,000
awareness rate
.2-.4%
which 3 settings are associated with awareness
major trauma, obstetrics, cardiac surgery
amnesia MAC when gas is used alone
0.8-1
amnesia MAC when gas is used with opioids and N2O
.6
scopolamine has what kind of effect
retrograde amnesia
most common eye injury
corneal abrasion
most common cause of post op loss of vision
ischemic optic neuropathy
ischemic optic neuropathy
optic nerve infarction due to decreased oxygen delivery via one or more arterioles supplying the optic nerve
ION is commonly reported after which surgeries
cpb, radical neck dissection, and and hip procedures, spinal surgeries in prone
contributing patient factors to ION
htn, DM, CAD, smoking
3 positions that compromise venous outflow
prone, head down, compressed abd
onset of ION
immediately and through 12 post op day
prevention of ischemic optic neuropathy: enhance venous outflow by positioning the patient
head up
belly button is at the level of
T10
xiphiod is at the level of
T7
nipple is at the level
T4
pinky is at the level of
C8/T1
treatment for hearing loss after spinal anesthesia
blood patch
4 types of hypersensitivity reactions
type 1 immediate, type 2 cytotoxic, type 3 immune complex, type 4 delayed, cell-mediated
anaphylaxis
exaggerated response to an allergen that is mediated by a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction
anaphylaxis appears within
minutes of exposure
prevention of ION - minimize ___ constriction
abd
prevention of ION: limit degree and duration of ___
deliberate hypotension
prevention of ION: avoid ___ (think blood)
anemia
s/s prior to cv arrest
gradual decline in HR/BP. bradycardia, hypotension, cyanosis
cardiac accelerators are
T1-T4
when you place a spinal in the low back first you will get ___ problems
cardiac
3 drugs for CPB arrest after spinal
ephedrine, atropine, epi
what causes hearing loss after spinal
CSF leak
what do you treat hearing loss due to csf leak with
blood patch
what is an allergic reaction
eggaterated immunologic response to antigenic stimulation a previously sensitized individual
antigen or allergen is typically
a protein, a polypeptide, or smaller molecule that is covalently bound to a carrier protein
first exposure in anaphylactic reaction what happens
antigen - b cell- IgE binds to surface of mast cell
second exposure of antigen
causes the cell to release histamine and histamine increases the permeability and distention of the blood capillaries
allergic reaction: pt can lose up to 50% of ___ volume into the ____ space
intravascular , extravascular
type 1 immediate allergic reaction
atopy, urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis
type 2 cytotoxic allergic reaction
hemolytic transfusion reactions, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, heparin induced thrombocytopenia,
type 4 delayed, cell-mediated
contact dermatitis
