Q

Anesthesia considerations for breast biopsy/SNL

Intra-OP

A

MAC: Propofol 25-100 mcg/kg/min, supplement with fentanyl/remi and midazolam, titrate to effect

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

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

A

Binder (keep asleep till then)

42

and symptoms

A
Complications: pneumothorax

O2 100 FiO2
Chest Xray
Remove Positive pressure ventilation

48

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

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

58
Q

GETA or GLMAA

• Tape tube on one side opposite of surgical field

60

A

the affected arm both pre/post

• Circulation, sensation, motor function

64

For beach chair Carefully stabilize

A

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

conventional axillary dissection level I and II
