Q

Describe the management of a patient with placenta previa

A

1.Expectant (wait till delivery)

–Hospitalization; bed rest and observation if < 37 weeks with mild to moderate bleeding

–I/V fluids , typing & cross matching

–Maintain crit > 30

–Await lung maturity ( steroid shots)

  1. Coagulopathy is common; may need replacement
  2. Delivery

–Do L/S ratio, if immature give steroid to mom

  • Always C/S

−Smoke

−Deactivation of surfactant => atelectasis

−CO poisoning

2.Hypovolumia / Shock

−Total body edema due to increased permeability

−Pulmonary loss

  1. Hyperkalemia due to tissue destruction
  2. Infections—primary cause of death

−Loss of skin barrier

Inhalation injury and pulmonary infection

90
Q

Hypovolemia in burns is due to?

A

−Total body edema due to increased permeability

−Pulmonary loss

91
Q

Hyperkalemia in burns is due to?

A

tissue destruction

92
Q

Resuscitation of burn patients

A

−Treat the shock first. If no shock fluid administration aims to replace the deficit and suppy the maintenance fluid.

−Evaluate Total Body Surface (TBSA) Area burned by “rule of nines”.

−3 ml/kg/% BSA burned of crystalloid /24 hrs

  • First ½ over 8 hrs
  • Second ½ over next 16 hrs
93
Q

Wound care in burns

A

−Gentle debridment

−Partial thickness

  • cover with topical antibiotics

−Complete thickness

  • Topical antibiotics
  • Excise burn wound to remove necrotic tissues
  • Cover with skin graft
  • Keep extremities elevated
94
Q

Treatment of infections in burns

A

−Sputum C/S

−Wound infection

  • Resect to viable tissue
  • Antibiotics ( tissue injection and IV)
95
Q

Metabolic changes in burns

A

−Requirement increases – catabolic state

−(25 kcal/kg/day) + (40 kcal /% TBSA burned/day)

−Higher protein : calorie ratio

96
Q

Long term care treatment in burns

A

−Splints – opposes contractures

−Pressure garments – prevent scar and edema

−Range of motion – prevents contractures

97
Q

Anesthesia Consideration for burn patients

A
  1. Intubate before edema develops
  2. Sux is contraindicated due to hyperkalemia => cardiac arrest
  3. Higher doses of non-depolarizing muscle relaxant
  4. Halothane is best avoided if epinephrine is being used to stop bleeding
98
Q

Rule of nine in burns

A

Head and neck = 9% =(4.5 front + 4.5 back)

Upper extrimities= 18% =2(4.5% front +4.5% back)

Trunk= 36% = 2(18% back + 18% front)

Lower Extrimities= 36% = 2(9% front +9% back)

Perenial = 1%

99
Q

Early deceleration

A
  1. Decelerations ( low FHR) begin and end at approximately the same time as the uterine contraction [normal FHR = 120-160 bpm]
  2. Head compression
  3. NO fetal distress
100
Q

Late deceleration

A
  1. Persist after contraction is over
  2. Associated with fetal hypoxia - decrease uteroplacental perfusion
  3. Possibly due maternal hypotension or abruption
  4. Assess fetal pH
  5. Deliver the baby ASAP when
  • Persistent
  • Fetal bradycardia
101
Q

Variable deceleration

A
  1. Variable in shape, severity and timing
  2. Occur at any time during contraction
  3. Umbilical cord compression and low blood flow
  4. Associated with fetal hypoxia
  5. Respiratory acidosis- with good fetal reserve metabolic acidosis does not occur
  6. Occurs in oligohydramnions
  7. Change mother position (back to side)
