18
Q

  • Ask them to avoid ___ and ___ preoperatively.
  • Thus these patients will be in pain. Do not give these patients ___ preoperatively - patient at risk for bleeding.
A

Rheumatoid arthritis

20
Q

___ - ANESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS
Biggest concern with RA is the airway. These patients also present with atlanto-axial instability. Very important to not do extension/flexion with these patients. CT and X-rays should be done assessing flexion and extension prior to any surgery.

A

Rheumatoid Arthritis

21
Q

Myasthenia Gravis:

  • Precipitated by ___, ___, ____

  • These patients are at high risk for ___
  • At risk for Heart Block look at preoperative EKG
A
  • electrolyte abnormalities, pregnancy, stress
  • double vision aka diplopia
  • Antibiotics, clindamycin
  • aspiration
22
Q

Myasthenia Gravis Treatment = Typically on ___ (ex-?) daily PO
Do not want patients to take this the day of surgery. Could interact with other meds.
*Too much Cholinesterase - abdominal cramping, diarrhea, excess secretions etc. These patients usually in good control of how much they should take a day.
-Want to do procedure when they patients are healthy - do not do with new onset temp, respiratory infection at risk for complications.
-Perform surgery when patient is in remission - schedule case for first procedure of the day.

A

Cholinesterase Inhibitors

Pyridostigmine

23
Q
  • –These patients are prone to cardiac depression (avoid ___) and they are prone to MH!?! THUS NO ___!!!
  • With induction probably going to be using ___.
  • For maintenance possibly use ___ (?), can use ___ and ___, put a big piece of tape over inhaled agents or take them off the machine so no one uses them accidentally
A
Muscular Dystrophy
(inhaled agents)
-SUCC
-Etomidate 
-TIVA (propofol)

A
  • Autosomal dominant
  • FBN1 gene

  • Use ___ - cardiac safe using a lot!
  • ___ is huge!!!
  • Airway - high arched palate, may need to use a ___ instead due to long palate
