leersnyder day 2 Flashcards
most reliable source of info about your patient
the patient
three vanderbilt computer interfaces
vpims, vpimsweb, starpanel
if a preop was templated and has the physical exam filled out, is it complete?
no
What is the name of the diagnosis and procedure codes in the US?
icd9, icd10, CPT
Also the codes for the dx must match between anesthesia and surgery or no reimbursement.
which of the following is NOT a redflag for preops?
- aicd/pacer
- OSA
- mild pulm htn
- new stents
- mild pulm HTN
state risks associated with REGIONAL anesthesia and their incidence
prolonged numbness/weakness, post-dural headache, failure of technique
state at risk populations
extremes of age, redheads, drugs and alcohol, chronic pain patients, enzyme induced patients, genetic variances (MH)
Watch out for the old drunk redhead who goes to the methadone clinic and has a genetic predisposition to malignant hyperthermia.
state strategies to minimize risk
avoid full stomachs, emergency surgery, cardiac problems, emergency c-section (high risk of general anesthesia, high risk of loss of airway and aspiration), light anesthesia = recall (risk of PTSD, use a BIS), maintain anesthesia equipment and competency.
Don’t do an EMERGENT C-SECTION on the patient who just ate 14 KRYSTALS and has new onset A-FIB if your BIS monitor and anesthesia MACHINE aren’t working.
sore throat
50%
hoarseness
15-50%
post op N/V
10-80%
drowsiness/confusion - emergence delirium vs. POCD (postop cognitive dysfunction)
age dependent
operative awareness
less than 1%
neuromuscular blocker MOST OFTEN associated with anaphylactic reaction
succs
states with HIGHEST INCIDENCE of malignant hyperthermia
Wisconsin, Nebraska, West Virginia, Michigan
Willy Nelson wears virgin Miche
visual loss
less than 0.056%
1/20th of 1%
aspiration incidence
highest in pregnancy
drug reactions
1:13,000
number 1 drug reaction in US
antibiotics
death
1:10,000
in surveys patients are most concerned about
post op pain, N/V, not waking up, drains and needles
triple low phenomena
low MAC, low MAP, low BIS
4x greater mortality over 30 days
infection incidence post regional
3:65,000
You have a 1:22,000 chance
persistent numbness / weakness
1:4,343
seizures post regional
0.022%
Like if you accidentally shot yourself in with a tenth of a .22 pistol, you wouldn’t die you’d just have a seizure
overall cardiac arrest rate overall vs anesthesia related
3/100 vs 1/1,000
overall critical events vs anesthesia related
964/10,000 vs 64/10,000
Minus 900 critical events
overall mortality rate vs anesthesia related
463/10,000 vs 4/10,000
Minus 460 deaths
_____ was mainly responsible for CRITICAL EVENTS in patients with GOOD physical status, but _____ diseases were mainly responsible in those with POOR physical status
anesthetic management
coexisting diseases
we kill the ASA __ and __, the __ and __ kill themselves
1, 2, 3, 4
____ fold increase in critical events for ASA 4’s non-emergency vs. emergency surgery
four (148:10,000 compared to 592:10,000)
anesthesia related deaths due to ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ANESTHETICS
42.4%
WHO MOST COMMONLY DIES DURING SURGERY?
MALES (80%), age 25-54 (55%), lowest death rate (5-14 years), highest death rate (age 85 or older)
In the USA between 1999-2005, 1,030 people died of anesthesia related complications to what?
overdose of anesthetic
In Japan study emergency surgery for an ASA4 patient increases the risk of anesthesia complications by what factor?
four times the risk
In Japan what was the leading cause of CRITICAL EVENTS of people with good physical status?
anesthetic management
In Japan what was the leading cause of critical events in those with poor physical status?
coexisting diseases
HPI
history of present illness
In the US mortality due to anesthesia is higher in what gender?
males
percentage of deaths caused by adverse effects?
percentage of deaths caused by anesthetic overdose?
- 4% adverse effects
46. 5% anesthetic overdose
what are some red flags in preop?
MI within last 6 mo’s, chest pain, stents, new EKG changes
what is the fastest growing surgical specialty?
interventional radiology for neuro
a basic neuro exam should include…
oriented x4, deficits do not impair communication or comprehension, eyesight, pupils, visual fields, motor or sensory impairment
what is the NIHSS stroke score
42 point scale to identify deficits, 0 = no deficit, 42 = worst deficit, score defines 30 day mortality rate
what is hunt and hess scoring?
grading scale for subarachnoid hemorrhage
grade 1 - minimal headache
grade 2 - mod to severe HA, nuchal rigidity, cranial nerve palsy
grade 3 - drowsy
grade 4 - stuporous, mod to severe hemiparesis
grade 5 - deep coma, decerebrate rigidity
three interventional radiology treatments for a clot
penumbra, solitaire, trevo pro
three interventional radiology treatments for an aneurysm
glue, coil, clip
fourth leading cause of death and first leading cause of disability
stroke
three drugs that dissolve a clot
integrillin, TPA, reopro
EBUS stands for __
endobronchial ultrasound
american cancer society rates lung cancer the ____ cancer in the US
2
