treatment goals of lymphatic treatment in post op
improve oxygenation and nutrients
reduce risk of infection, healing time, fibrosis and scarring
biomechanical SD in post op: contributing factors
duration of surgery
position in surgery
inactivity
prolong bedrest
how often does paitents get post op fever
40%
Post op fever–rule of W’s
wind; POD 1-2 water; POD 3 walking; POD 5-7 wound; POD 7-10 wonder drug; POD 7+
WIND; POD 1-2
management:
- atelectasis: CXR, deep breath + cough, incentive spirometry
- pneumonia: sputum cultures, antibiotics
WATER; POD 3
management: UTI–UA, urine culture, remove foley, antibiotics
WALKING; POD 5-7
management: DVT/PE–Us w/ venous doppler, CT andiogram, heparin with warfarin, IVC filter
WOUND; POD 7-10
management: wound infection–US/CT, antibiotics, inscision + drainage, wound care
WONDER DRUGS; POD 7+
remove unmecessary drugs
what is the most likely complication when s/p abdominal surgery?
pulmonary
what kind of restricted motion will pneumonia patients have?
reduced excursion of the thorax toward inhalation locally over the area of consolidation
what kind of restricted motion will asthma patients (and other obstructive diseases) have?
reduced excursion of the thorax towards exhalation
35-60% of thoracic duct lymphatic duct flow is due to
the response and effects of respiratory movements
contributing factors to atelectasis
anesthesia and mechanical ventilation
bed rest (bc limit breathing movements)
pain
obesity, smoking, respiratory distress
PFT changes related to atelectasis
decreased tidal volume increased inspriatory and expiratory pressures decreased vital capacity decreased functional residual capacity decreased alveolar ventilation
breathing pattern that leads to atelectasis
shallow breaths without maximal inhalation lead to alveolar collapse
