A

1.3- 3 hours long

31

EBL mastectomy

A

150-500ml lumpectomy is 25-100ml

32

LYMPHADEMA
SEROMA
INFECTION
Nerve damage

33

Axillary part of the surgery consideration

A

NO PARALYTICS

34
Q

Antibiotics for modified radical, lumpectomy and total

A

Cefazolin 2g IV

35
Q

• Preop Mastectomy
• Resp:
•

A

hx radiation therapy to chest = compromise;

CXR if any pulmonary signs

36
Q

Preop Mastectomy Cardio:

A

Chemo agents can cause cardiomyopathy,

order diagnostic studies if presentation indicates

37
Q

Preop mastectomy Neuro:

A

breast CA can mets to CNS (focal neuro deficits, ↑ICP, AMS)

38
Q

Preop Mastectomy Hem:

A

Anemia/thrombocytopenia associated with chemo

39
Q

Doxorubicin associated with

A

CARDIOMYOPATHY

40
Q

Post op Emergence =

A

may require binder in sitting position = keep them asleep through this process

41
Q

Post op considerations: ASk about

A

Binder (keep asleep till then)

42
Q

Multilevel paravertebral blocks level MASTECTOMY

43
Q

How many ml per level

A

• 4-5 mL/leve

44

2 local anesthetics you can use for mastectomy

A

Bupivacaine :0.5%

Ropivacaine 0.5%

45
Q

Contraindications to regional anesthesia

A

Contraindications: patient refusal, local
anesthetic allergy, pathology or anatomical
distortion of paravertebral space, infection at site

46
Q

Anesthetic considerations Post Op complications

and symptoms

A 
Complications: pneumothorax
• Symptoms?
• Others (2° PNB)
**** Failed block (10%)
****Pleural puncture
**** Pneumothorax (PIP goes up, CO2 goes down) 
**** Horner’s syndrome
• Accidental epidural spread of local anesthetic
• PONV
47
Q

Pneumothorax interventions

A

O2 100 FiO2
Chest Xray
Remove Positive pressure ventilation

48
Q

Signs of Pneumothorax

A

breath sounds decreased on one side

Avoid Positive pressure ventilation

49
Q

Horner’s syndrome

A

Ptosis, myosis droops on side LA was injected.

50
Q

Tips for breast surgery

A

Know local anesthesia toxicity levels
• OR table may be angled/turned sideways (Disconnect ET before moving)
• Breast biopsies can turn into mastectomy

51
Q

LA toxicity

A

Serum levels , LA in tissue doesn’t always transfer to vessels.

52
Q

Lidocaine with epi

53
Q

Lidocaine without epi

54
Q

LTA (laryngotracheal Topical Anesthesia)

55
Q

Lidocaine and marcaine

A

Additive effects, Consider both can increase toxicity

56
Q

Interscalene Block

57
Q

Clavicle repair

Position

A

Beach chair or supine, head turned away from
surgical field, bump placed behind affected
shoulder (ANNOYING)
HOLD HEAD entire time

58
Q

Unique considerations

A
  • RSI if trauma
  • ISB will NOT help cover proximal clavicular pain
  • IV/cuff on nonoperative side
59
Q

Clavicle repair GETA or

A

GETA or GLMAA

• Tape tube on one side opposite of surgical field

60
Q

Clavicle repair

A

Surgeon may require SBP < 100 mm Hg to prevent

bleeding

61
Q

Complications of clavicle repair

A

Complications: brachial plexus or subclavian artery

injury

62
Q

Eye protection is important

A 
• Tape eyes closed, place pads over eyes,
consider goggles (DON’T)
63
Q

• Perform a thorough distal neuro assessment on

A

the affected arm both pre/post

• Circulation, sensation, motor function

64
Q

For beach chair Carefully stabilize

A

head in beach chair position
• Tape the ETT or LMA SEVERELY
• Head will be under drapes

65
Q

Ductoscopy

A

Give surgeon clear view between diseased and healthy breast tissues (camera into milk duct)

66
Q

If unable to find SNL

A

conventional axillary dissection level I and II

67
Q

Lumpectomy, axillary LND pain score and Morbidity

Post op care if no morbidity

A

4-8PACU → 2 d hospitalization

PACU–> Home

68
