Lap/Robotic Surgery Flashcards
Some subspecialties for laparoscopic surgery?
general, urology, gyno
Some subspecialties for robotic surgery?
thoracic, cardiac, GI, urology
Robotic instruments have how many degrees of freedom?
7
Contraindications to laparoscopic surgery (8)?
diaphragmatic hernia, acute or recent MI, severe pulmonary disease, VP shunt, CHF or cardiac valve disease, hx of CVA/cerebral aneurysm, increased ICP, glaucoma
Contraindications to robotic surgery (2)?
poor PFT in robotic cardiac surgery bc single lung vent may be poorly tolerated; if prolonged T burg required in pts w hx of cerebral aneurysm
Type of surgical technique where Veress needle pierces abdominal wall at its thinnest point?
closed
Is closed placement of Veress needle done under direct vision?
no
Type of incision that is a midline vertical incision and is placed under direct vision?
open
Downside to open incision for placement of trocar?
it takes longer
Maintain IAP pressure
15 mm
Why is CO2 the gas of choice for pneumoperitoneum?
noncombustible and more soluble in blood, rapidly returned from periphery, eliminated by lungs, increases safety margin and decreases risk of gas embolism
What does hypercapnia do to myocardial contractility?
increases it
What causes the decreased venous return in pneumoperitoneum?
pooling of blood in the legs, caval compression, increased venous resistance
Increased intraabdominal pressure decreases or increases inotropy?
decreases
Does CO decrease or increase d/t increased intraabdominal pressure caused by pneumoperitoneum?
decrease
What does increased intraabdominal pressure do to intrathoracic pressure?
increases it
What type of effect does increased intrathoracic pressure have on neurohumoral factors?
increases release of catecholamines and vasopressin
Stimulation of peritoneal receptor does what?
increases release of catecholamines and vasopressin
Does increased intraabdominal pressure decrease/increase SVR?
increase
Three components of Da Vinci Surgical System?
1- control console 2-patient side cart (robotic arms) 3-equipment tower
What type of ANS output from CO2 absorption and neuroendocrine response to pneumoperitoneum?
sympathetic
SVR increases by what percentage from CO2 absorption/pneumoperitoenum?
20%
What does SV do in response to pneumoperitoneum?
decrease (decrease in venous return)
What does compression of the arterial vasculature do to myocardial wall tension and myocardial O2 demand?
increases the wall tension and increases the demand (ischemia and ST changes)
Why does preload decrease with increased IAP?
compression of venous capacitance vessels
What contrasts the decreased preload caused by compression of the venous capacitance vessels in pneumoperitoneum?
compression of liver and spleen increases intravascular volume
If inflation pressures are
increases it d/t increased venous return
What happens to CO/BP when inflation pressures are >15 mm and why?
decreases, decreases, d/t decreased venous return
What does hypercapnia do to myocardial contractility
decreases it
What does hypercapnia and respiratory acidosis do to pulmonary vasculature?
pulmonary vasoconstriction
What is one nerve complication you have to worry about with steep T burg positioning?
increased IOP leading to ischemic optic neuropathy
3 things that increase intraocular pressure?
hypotension, increased ETCO2, increased duration of surgery (>2-4 hours)
What happen to CBF and ICP with increased intraocular pressure?
they increase
What causes increased SVR and MAP?
hypercarbia, neuroendocrine response (increased catecholamines, vasopressin, and cortisol), compression of aorta
What does pneumoperitoneum do to CI and cardiac filling volumes?
variable to both- CI is decreased or no change d/t increased afterload, decreased venous return, and cardiac filling. cardiac filling is increased or no change bc of compression of intra abdominal compression (liver and spleen)
CO2 absorption reaches a plateau w/in how many minutes of initiation?
10-15 min
What does pushing the diaphragm cephaulad do to the FRC and TLC?
decrease
What two effects does decreased TLC have? And how do you counteract that?
atelectasis and increased airway pressure (PIP); increase the MV
CO2 absorption is greater during intra or extraperitoneal?
extraperitoneal
What happens to lung volume and compliance with lap and robotic procedures?
decrease and decrease
ETCO2 under or overestimates arterial CO2?
under
Signs of VQ mismatch and intrapulmonary shunting?
decreased O2 sats and increased airway pressure
Decreased FRC has what 2 effects?
increased VQ mismatch and increased alveolar arterial oxygen gradient
Decreased lung compliance and increased resistance has what 2 pulmonary effects?
increased pleural pressures and airway pressures
How does elevated diaphragm adversely effect ETT placement?
shortens distance from ETT to carina and makes it likely for endobronchial intubation
What effects does pneumoperitoneum have on kidneys?
increases creatinine clearance and decreases UO
Why is UO not a reliable guide to renal ftn during pneumoperitoneum?
pneumoperitoneum causes increased ADH, renal vasoconstriction, and hypercarbia which induces sympathetic response and renal vasoconstriction which further reduces RBF
IAP of what is safe with renal disease?
Neuroendocrine response to pneumoperitoneum causes what effect in renal system?
increased ADH, renal vasoconstriction and hypercarbia which decrease renal blood flow
