Exam 3 General/Gynecologic/Breast Surgery [7/11/24] Flashcards

1
Q

When was the invention of laparoscopy and for what?

A
  • First for diagnosis of gynecological conditions in 1970’s
  • Then, for cholecystectomy in late 1980.

Q

what is the first thing we do when performing a laparoscopy?

A
  • creating a pneumoperitoneum

pneumoperitoneum: presence of air within the peritoneal cavity (google)

Q

What causes increased CO₂ during laparoscopic surgeries?

A
  1. Positioning (frequently Trendelenburg)

Q

What causes the increased PaCO₂ in laparoscopic cases?

A
  • Occurs from insuflation.
  • The additional CO2 gets absorbed and transported to be blown off from the lungs causing increase PaCO2

Q

For hypercarbia related to gastric insuflation, what is the treatment early in the case vs late in the case?

A

Early Case:
* adjust settings to blow off excess CO2

Later Case:
* Since the stimulation to breath is from↑ CO₂ its beneficial to not treat to facilitate extubation.

Q

What pulmonary complication is the result of CO₂ insufflation pushing the carina upwards?

A

Q

What is wire localization? What should the CRNA be cautious about?

A
  • Wire placed in radiology for nodules that are deeper and harder to locate.
  • The wire helps surgeon follow it down to the nodule to excise. If the wire is inside the area of concern it helps with confirmation.
  • Wire comes taped down. Can cut the wire short BUT DO NOT PULL IT OUT.

Q

Why might a surgeon want NMBD worn off during breast surgery?

A
  • bc of the long thoracix nerve
    • responsible for keeping scapula close to the chest.
  • if you mess with this → wing scapula.
    • can fall away from posterior chest causing weird shoulder movement and pain if this nerve is messed with.

S26 (lecture)

57
Q

Types of reconstruction for breast sx

A
  • tissue expander
  • latissimus dorsi myocutaneous [LDM]
  • transverse rectus abdominus myocutaneous [TRAM]
  • deep inferior epigastric perforators [DIEP]

LDM, TRAM, DIEP are for more complex cases when everything has been removed and only skin and ribs are present. Only choose 1.

S27

58
Q

How are tissue expanders used for breast reconstriction?

A
  • look like plastic donuts and are stuck inside where the breast tissue is.
  • It’s injected with fluids to get to same size as native breast.
  • work great with only breast is taken.

S27

59
Q
  • What is a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous reconstruction [LDM]?
  • LDM is common reffered to as?
A
  • below scapula
  • muscle and skin
  • cut away as pedicle graft and tunnled through axilla
  • Commonly referred lat flap

S27

60
Q

what is a transverse rectus abdominus myocutaneous [TRAM]?

A
  • abdominal muscle, sub-q, skin
  • remains attached to native blood supply
  • mesh prothesis to abdomen

Lecture (for additional explanation)
* Comes from belly & gets pulled up. Has nerve and native blood supply attachment. Feels like a tummy tuck bc the belly is stretched up to the chest.
* problem: muscle from belly is pulled to so it can’t support a lot of abdominal content. Need to put in a mesh or else can get hernias.

S27

61
Q

What is a deep inferior epigastric perforators [DIEP]?

A
  • skin and fat removed from abdomen [without muscle]
  • denervates abdomen

Lecture (for additional information)
- not as big of a flap bc muscle isnt taken.
- very vascular
- heals nicely
- not as much volume bc muscle isn’t taken but dont have to worry about hernia

S27

62
Q
  • What is the indication for a Nissen Fundoplication?
A
  • To increase lower esophageal sphincter pressure

S29

63
Q

What conditions might require the nissen fundoplication?

  • Complications of GERD
    • Stricture
    • Aspiration PNA
    • Esophageal Ulcerations
    • Barret’s Esophagus
  • Failure or unwillingness to commit to medication

S29

64
Q

Preoperative considered for nissen fundoplication:
* What drugs should be administered
* What should be documented preop?

A
  • PPI
  • Prokinetics drugs
  • Document: esophageal hyperacidity
65
Q

Nissen fundoplication

How do prokinetic drugs work?
Which ones are commonly given?

S30

66
Q

67
Q

What should be done Intra-operative for a nissen fundoplication

A
  • Pre-op meds

  • SCIP Abx
  • Esophageal dilator

S31

68
Q

What position is indicated for nissen fundoplication?

A

Supine, Low lithotomy, reverse Tburb

S31

69
Q
  • What piece of equipment (unique to Niessen Fundiplocations) should the CRNA be prepared to use?
  • Why is this used (lecture)?
A
  • Esophageal Dilator 60F

Lecture:
* Wrap the stomach around the esophagus with the sizer in place. When the sizer is removed thats how big of a hole is left to left food pass.
* using this as sizer bc when working laparoscopy we can’t touch or feel with the hand so we dont know how tight the stomach is being wrapped around the esophagus.
* dont stick the pointy end through the esophagus = esophageal fistula = medial emergency
* lube it up so it doesnt go through the esophageal wall.

S31

70
Q

What are the indications for Cholecystectomy?

A
  • Symptomatic cholelithiasis [gallstones]
  • Symptomatic cholecystitis [inflammation of gallbladder]

5 F’s

  • Female
  • Forty
  • Fair (caucasian)
  • Flatulent
  • Fat

S33

74
Q

Preop consideraions for emegent gallbladder surgery:
* What drugs should be given?
* How should you intubate these patients?

A
  • Dugs:
    • Prokinetics
    • Bicitra [to neutralize acid] and possibly fluids if throwing up

S34

75
Q

What position is a gallbladder placed in for surgery?

A
  • Supine
  • Reverse Tburg
  • Left tilt [right side up]

S35

76
Q

Intraoperative considerations for cholelithiasis

A
  • GETA
  • OGT
  • Position: Supine, reverse Tburg, Left tilt
  • SCIP
  • IOC (intraoperative cholangiogram) [special kind of X-ray imaging that shows those bile ducts.]
  • May require Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [ERCP} for choledocholithiasis

Cholelithiasis: stone in gallbladder

77
Q
  • When using intraoperative cholangiogram for gall bladder surgery, what is the concern if dye isnt moving?
  • How do you treat this?
A
  • Having a sphincter of Oddi spasm
  • Give Glucagon

S35

78
Q
