ExtraThoracic Surgery Flashcards
Different types of Extrathoracic Surgery
Breast biopsy/lumpectomy Sentinel lymph node biopsy Mastectomy Mastectomy with reconstruction Clavicle repair
Breast biopsy/lumpectomy Terminology
- Excisional biopsy = benign
* Lumpectomy = cancerous lesion
- Patient population
- Lumpectomy =_____(age)
- wire-localized breast biopsy =___(age)
- Mainly what sex (M/F)
> 15 yr ; 25-90 yr; female
Palpable lesions characterized by
masses, nodules, asymmetric thickening
•Breast biopsy/lumpectomy manifestations
edema, redness, brawny discoloration, ulceration
• Bloody/pathological nipple discharge
- Usually benign intraductal papilloma
* Rarely carcinoma
Percutaneous Hookwires in breast Using 2 imaging studies? Explain
MRI and breast US.
Radiologist places Percutaenous hook-wires close to lesion
Surgeon removes breast tissue surrounding wire
Confirm removal of wire and target lesion with radiography and ultrasound
Paravertebral block put at risk for
pneumothorax
Block for lumpectomy
• Factors to pick a block
• Paravertebral block
• With MAC or GA
• Pectoral nerve block type II
size, location, quantity, trajectory of wires, patient preferences
ABT breast surgery
Antibiotics optional, cefazolin 1 g IV (dose: < 80 kg =
1 g, > 80 kg = 2 g)
Breast surgery closing
Closing specimen radiograph result must be
obtained
Breast surgery approx time
Pain
Time 0.5-1.5 h
2-5
M and M of breast surgery
M/M seroma, ecchymosis, hematoma, infection
Sentinel lymph node biopsy
Most likely node?
Invasive breast cancer without pathologic lymph nodes
• Most likely node to FIRST harbor metastatic tumor cells
• No metastasis means no cells = other lymph nodes
negative for CANCER
• SNL =
first node to drain afferent lymphatics from a particular region of breast. Therefore
Lymphatic mapping
What should surgeon tell anesthesiologist?
• Dyes
• Drops SpO2 (2-5% 20-25 min after injection)
Injected (clock plane , 6, 12, 9, 3)
Sentinel node biopsy
No paralyzing, no muscle relaxants.
Technetium sulfur colloid (TSC)
Low radiactive tracer
No additional protection required
Unique considerations BP
BP cuff cannot be an operative side, ask about muscle relaxation.
SNL antibiotics
Cefazolin 1g
SNL EBL, SNL timing
Minimal
10-30 min but up to 1.5 h with axillary lymph node
dissections
M and M with SNL
Allergic reaction to dyes
Anesthesia considerations for breast biopsy/SNL
Pre-Op
• Anxious, require midazolam, lab testing not always necessary (except HCG if child-bearing age)
Anesthesia considerations for breast biopsy/SNL
Intra-OP
MAC: Propofol 25-100 mcg/kg/min, supplement with fentanyl/remi and midazolam, titrate to effect
REMI bolus: 0.5-1mcg/kg 90 seconds prior to initial incision with local anesthesia
Consider HIGH Propofol
If concerns about HR for Breast biopsy
Give Glycopyrrolate (Robinul)
• GA:
may mask or LMA if appropriate • Standard induction,
maintenance, emergence • Isosulfran dye reaction =
pruritus, localized swelling, blue hives • Diphenhydramine 10 -50mg IV, epi if BP ↓
• Postoperative •
Urine, emesis, or stool might be blue for 24 -48h
