52
Q

Airway pearls - intubation and ACLS

A

Incidence of failed intubation = 8-10X higher parturient than the NON pregnant patient
“O2-prop-sux-tube”
FIRST THINK RSI

For ACLS cardiac arrest: intubation attempts per experienced laryngoscopist. Bleeding and airway edema.
No more than 2 attempts at either DL or videolaryngoscopy before insertion of a supraglottic airway
Supraglottic airway is preferred rescue strategy after failed intubation difficult airway algorithm-cricothyroidotomy

Labor epidurals do not prolong 2nd stage of labor when inserted at appropriate time

81
Q

ASA Guidelines for L&D

A

Basic airway equipment =immed
FOS/Code cart=easily accessible
Cardiac arrest manual LUD=C/S within 5 minutes/PMCD

82
Q

GA vs. Regional

A

Difficult airway algorithm-airway eval!!!
LMA use- think rescue only
Fewer GA/ trend for more regionals
20% Intralipid fat emulsion/LA Toxicity
ASRA guidelines for anticoagulated pts
Infection prevention
mainly safer because more expertise with use of AIRWAY DEVICES

83
Q

Heparin recs & neuraxial

A

indivdual heparin dose of SQ Heparin 7500-10000 U BID or a daily dose of <= 20,000 U

99
Q

Preeclampsia goals

A

Control HTN- 1st line labetalol/hydralazine nifedipine(oral)
Prevention of seizures -Magnesium Sulfate
Eclampsia = seizure
Delivery of fetus
Blunt hemodynamic response intubation

100
Q

Magnesium Sulfate

A

Agent of choice SZ control pre-eclamptic(PEC)
Raises seizure threshold
Also used for preterm labor
Hypotension
Maintain infusion during C/S +24hr after delivery
Potentiates action of both nondepolarizers and depolarizing muscle relaxants
careful reversal

101
Q

Magnesium Sulfate for PEC

A

Initial loading dose is 4 Gm MgSO4 IV over 10 minutes then maintenance infusion of 1-2 Gm/hr

(Some load dose with 6 Gm MgSO4)

Want serum range 4-6 meq/L (SSH)

Toxicity 10cc of 10% calcium gluconate

Narrow therapeutic index….5-10meq/L with EKG changes prolonged PR widened QRS…. 10 meq/L decreased deep tendon reflexes….15 meq/l respiratory arrest

102
Q

Magnesium Sulfate - Toxicity

A

think therapeutic range Magnesium 4-6 meq/L ( Apex Magnesium range 2.1-2.9 mmol/L)

SE: feel weak/blurred vision/nausea/ hot/diminished deep tendon reflexes/////////

Avoid 6-10 meq/L EKG changes = prolonged PR/wide QRS, HYPOTENSION

10 meq/L LOSS OF deep “TENDON” reflexes
15 meq/l range is respiratory arrest… cardiac arrest
Magnesium affects uterine tone so higher risk of PPH

103
Q

PEC-DELAYED presentation

A

SEE Handout
Triage in ER -less than 6 weeks post partum
Stabilize/ OB consult/Labs fibrinogen liver fxn type and screen / strict I and O

Urgent within 30 minutes
STAT
Repeat Airway evaluation must be performed prior to GA

105
Q

Dosing of Regional and Pregnant Patient

A

Engorgement of epidural veins as intraabdominal pressure increases

Reduces volume of CSF in subarachnoid space

Facilitates spread of local anesthetic

Decrease dose requirements of local anesthetics for epidural/spinal by 30-50%

106
Q

Distance threaded for Epidurals

A

5cm…

Remember platelet trend prior to removing epidural in suspected low platelet patient scenario….??? Think do you want to repeat platelet count prior to removal?
OB Epidural hematoma epidural abcess very RARE- 1:200,000- 1:250,000(SOAP 2018)… Symptoms hematoma rapidly preogressive neurologic deficits muscle weakness back pain sensory deficit and urinary retention Risk factors hematoma are hard to tell but defects of coagulation and multiple attempts at placement/ Also think STAT MRI AND NEUROSURGEON CONSULT

107
Q

Labor Epidurals

A

.25 % Bupivacaine or .125% Bupivacaine
More motor block with Xylocaine 1.5%
PCEA with 1mg/cc of Bupiv+2.5mcg/cc of Fentanyl at 8-10cc/hr with 6cc bolus/6min lockout/60cc 4 hour limit
6/6/60
ALWAYS aspirate before injecting Bolus
“AMIDE” Local Anesthetics
Awareness of platelet trend removal cath?

108
Q

Epidural for C/S

A

Epidurals for C/SOxygen /Monitors/ LUD
T4 level
15-25cc of 2%Xylo with Epi 1:200k (SSH)

May add sodium bicarbonate 4.2% for quicker onset (2cc to 20cc)
Increase in time of onset vs spinal

Rarely 3% Chloroprocaine…faster onset….ester….short DOA-think 45 min redose

109
Q

Epidural during C/S

A

Oxygen/ Monitors/ LUD
Pressors often used: ephedrine / phenylephrine
Timeout/ Antibiotics
AFTER CORD CLAMPING --> oxytocin gtt (30u in 500cc)
2 mg EPIDURAL Duramorph(PF)
Awareness of platelet trend removal cath?

110
Q

Spinal Anesthesia for C/S

A

Elective C/S
Repeat C/S
Approx 1.4-1.6 cc of .75% Bupivacaine with Dextrose (may adjust for patient’s height or previous record available)
.15mg Duramorph(PF) +10mcg Fentanyl
Consider Epinephrine in spinal dosing

Neo 80mcg/cc or Ephedrine 5-10mg doses incrementally…Some use IM Ephedrine 25mg …..Epi if Tubal ligation/hysterectomy possible. Fentanyl increases intensity and duration of block

111
Q

Spinal Level

A

T4 level

Fast onset

Hypotension

Cardioaccelerator

Pain relief Duramorph

Denser block than epidural for c/s

112
Q

SPINAL Opioids = post op resp - FENTANYL

A

Lipophilic
Quick onset
Improves sensory blockade
10mcg for spinal

113
Q

SPINAL Opioids = post op resp - MORPHINE PF

A

Hydrophilic
Postop pain relief up to 12-24 hours
.15mg for spinal

114
Q

Spinal for C/S during

A

Oxygen/Monitors/LUD
PRELOAD and Pressors often used:
-Ephedrine/Phenylephrine

Time out/Antibiotics
After cord clamping oxytocin(30u in 500cc)

115
Q

Time runs out on spinal….

A

Options: Narcotic IV, Ketamine
Convert to GA

Consider combined spinal/epidural from the beginning!!!!

116
Q

OB: RSI FOR GA

A

metoclopramide/Sodium Bicitrate/H2 Blocker?

4-5 breaths of 100% Oxygen/LUD/EKG SAT BP monitors

TIME OUT/Antibiotics/ Drapes up…surgeon+equipment

RSI – “prop-sux-tube”/Cricoid Pressure just before onset of LOC
GLIDESCOPE vs direct laryngoscopy—think!
Propofol/ Ketamine + Succinylcholine + ETT -6.5 smaller

117
Q

GA in progress C/S

A

Non depol?
Inhal at half MAC
50%O2 + 50% N2O
After delayed cord clamp: Oxytocin gtt
70% N20 decrease Inhalation
Reverse neuromuscular blockade?/narcotic
Be aware with magnesium and reversal!!
OGT/ Extubate awake
Review of anesthesia related maternal deaths over 18 yr period showed airway factors occurred during emergence and recovery and not during induction of general anesthesia. NGT “bloody mess” use OGT

118
Q

Muscle Relaxation

A

Inhalation agent

Succinylcholine may last slightly longer

Sensitivity to Non depolarizers with patient on Magnesium Sulfate

119
Q

Summary Pharmacology

A

Uterine atony medications - see handout
TXA-lysine analogue-prevents fibrinolysis

RSI- Think “Prop, Sux, Tube”

Suggamadex- binds to and encapsulates progesterone-Early pregnancy-advise AGAINST

Suggamadex-At term-Avoid or use with caution as inform effects on lactation unknown- see document SOAP website 4/22/19

Magnesium is for SEIZURE prevention

120
Q

Summary-General Anesthesia

A
  • Combination Decreased FRC and Increased Minute Ventilation –> accelerates uptake
  • MAC decreased 40% for inhalation anesthetics at term
  • PREOXYGENATE!
  • RAPID DESATURATION!
  • RSI with Cricoid pressure(smaller ETT)
  • OGT
  • ?muscle relaxation
121
Q

Post Partum Depression and more

A

Individualize care- speak up!10-15% of adult mothers have depressive symptoms lasting more than 6 months…
Suicide hotline is 988

HOMICIDE:* HOMICIDE is leading cause of death during pregnancy* and 42 days exceeding pregnancy
3.62 homicides per 100,000 live births among females pregnant or one yr post partum
16 times higher than nonpregnant nonpostpartum females.

122
Q

Nonobstetric surgery during pregnancy

A

.5-2% of all pregnancies
Think care plans- how would you manage?
Most common types…
What about elective surgery? When?
Which trimester is best for non-elective surgery that cannot be postponed?
What is normal FHR? Variability?
>23 wks monitor FHR for end organ perfusion
