Final Review - 1st 1/2 of semester Flashcards
Compression of fibular head on leg brace causes damage to which nerve?
Common perineal
Compression of medial tibial condyle causes damage to which nerve?
Saphenous
Excessive external rotation of legs and excessive extension of the knees causes damage to which nerve?
Sciatic
Excessive flexion of the going from the surgeon leaning on the inside of the leg causes damage to which nerve?
Obturator and femoral
Levels of regional anesthesia for cystoscopy
T9-10 sensory level or T8 for ureters
Risks of bladder perf specific to general and regional anesthesia for a TURBT
General - coughing or straining –> bladder perf
Regional - bladder atonic –> thinner when distended –> increased risk of perf
S/S bladder perf in awake pt
- shoulder discomfort
- N/V
- suprapubic fullness
- abd spasm
- pain
S/S bladder perf in anesthetized pt
HTN and tachycardia followed by severe HoTN
also DIC
Early signs of venous absorption of irrigation fluid during TURP
HTN and tachycardia, dyspnea, SOB
Late signs of TURP syndrome
apprehension, disorientation, convulsions, coma
Disadvantages to the following irrigation solutions:
Glycine
Sorbitol
Mannitol
Glycine - blindness
Sorbitol - hyperglycemia and lactic acidosis
Mannitol - hypervolemia, osmotic diuresis
TURP syndrome tx
Fluid restriction and diuretics (give hypertonic solutions cautiously)
Anesthesia considerations with Methylene blue 1% dye and indigo carmine dye
Methylene blue - can cause Hotn
Indigo - HTN Alpha sympathomimetic
Both - O2 sat appears to be low when it is actually ok (methylene greater effect than indigo)
Problem w kidney bar during nephrectomy
can cause vena cava compression and HoTN
What should be given for angioedema during anaphylactoid reaction?
FFP, then give it 20-30 min to work. you may not need to intubate. Decadron won’t work.
S/S hemolytic transfusion reaction in anesthetized pt
CV instability HoTN Fever hemoglobinuria bleeding diathesis
A pt with HIV is on NNRTIs. What is the anesthesia team concerned about?
NNRTIs induce the CYP450 system
Most common opportunistic pathogen in HIV
Pneumocystic carinii
PNA responsible for most deaths
Risk for percutaneous exposure to HIV
0.3%
Most common cause of death in SLE pt
Renal failure
