Exam 3: endo pulm disorders/disease Flashcards
body homeostasis is controlled by what two systems
nervous
endocrine
what does the endocrine system work through
mediator hormones
what is the master endocrine gland
pituitary gland
what are 4 body functions the pituitary gland modifies
homeostatic
developmental
metabolic
reproductive
what structure is the pituitary gland located in
sella turcica
what region of the brain is the pitutiary gland connected to
hypothalamus
how does the pituitary gland connect to the hypothalamus
hypophyseal stalk
what controls the secretion of pituitary hormones
hypothalamus
what are the lobes of the pituitary gland
anterior: adenohypophysis
posterior: neurohypophysis
what does AAA mean in pituitary gland
Anterior Adenohypophysis- acromegaly
which hormones come out of anterior lobe of pituitary gland- 6
growth hormone
adrenocorticotropic hormone
thyroid stimulating hormone
follicle stimulating hormone
luteinizing hormone
prolactin
which lobe is 80% of the pituitary gland by weight
anterior lobe-adenohypophysis
after removal of tumor causing hypopituitarism, you worry about your patient developing polyuria. What problem are you worried about and what medication should be available to fix it
diabetes insipidus
vasopressin
what is the approach to the surgery for anterior pituitary tumor
transphenoidal- through the nose to reach gland
what two meds may the patient with hypopituitarism require peri-op during removal of tumor of anterior pituitary gland
steroids
thyroid hormone replacement
t or f- you can nasally intubate patient who will be have a transphenoidal surgical approach
false
what position is patient in for transphenoidal surgical approach
sitting
what two monitors are key during surgery and why for removal of tumor on anterior pituitary using transphenoidal surgical approach in sitting position
precordial doppler
etco2
-detect venous air embolism
what are other important monitors during transphenoidal appraoch for removal of anterior pituitary tumor
BP
HR
what monitor gives the earliest evidence of air embolism during sitting position
precordial doppler
-mill wheel bubble in heart
what gas should not be used during anterior pituitary tumor removal via transphenoidal surgical approach- and why
nitrous oxide- expands spaces, draws in air into cranial spaces= increased ICP
what do you do when surgeon asks for a valsalva maneuver
put vent on manual mode
increase apl pressure to 70
pulse o2 flush to fill bag
squeeze bag- pip will jump up
why would neurosurgeon ask for a valsalva maneuver
surgeon is looking for increased pressure in ICP and leaks in dura. If there are no leaks, he can finish the surgery
why should patient be paralyzed during valsalva maneuver when the high pressure is provided
avoid coughing
