Other Flashcards
UGI bleed
High urea
Stomas and mx
Colostomy- LHS, formed stool, no spout
Ileostomy- RHS, loose stool, spouted due to alk conts irrit skin, dehyd risk, often give loperamide and fluid restric.
Anterior resection
Can anast immed.
Indics- L side CA, healthy bowel
Temp stoma somet
Diversion stoma
Eg for clean surg
Temp or perm
Hartmanns
Ant resection and end colostomy
Indications- L side CA, diverticulitis
Stoma as cant anast with inflamm/contam, decr BS, pt facs (imm comprom, steroids, DM etc).
Might be perm
Fentanyl AE
Drop BP
base excess
Metabolic alkalosis
Right hemicolectomy
Reomove ileum to part of TC
Indication- R side CA
sub total colectomy
Rectum preserved
Can anast
pan procto colectomy
Remove rectum and anus
End ileostomy
APER
Abdomino perineal excision of rectum
Indication- very distal rectal CA
Stitched back passage
colonoscopy indications
Bleed
Anaemia, Fe defic
Volvulus
Susp polyp/CA for remov/biop
colonoscopy risks
Perforation- higher risk if colitis, large polpectomy, heavy sedat
Bleed- more comm than perf esp with polypectomy
Missing a small CA or polyp
Fail to reach caecum
polypectomy
Injec dye, adrenaline and gelofusine
Lifts away from musc layer
Then snare.
This is endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)
Bowel CA screening
Low pick up rate Age 60 plus FOB test ev 2 yr til 75yo Positive result then go for colonoscopy Now bowel scope screen for over 55s
WHO screen criteria
Important prob Recognisable latent or early symp stage Nat hx known Accepted tx Accurate test Acceptable Policy on who to tx Facils for dx and tx Econ balanced Contin process
Adjuvant chemo
Us only if dukes C
Epidural risks
N damage, bruising
Epidural haematoma esp if eg anticoag, can cause comp
Hypot, more comm with spinals. Give phenylephirine infus to vasocontrict.
Infec eg abcess. More comm in epi than spinal.
Subdural space- patchy block.
Dural punc- CSF leak, reduc press, postural headache. Mx- PK, hydration, epidural blood patch.
LA s/e
Allergy
Toxicity- if too much abs eg BV damage. Fits, LOC, RSD, CVS collapse.
Opiate s/e
Nausea
Constipat
RSD
Itching
Epidural and spinal
Numb from T4 down Spinala ccording to dose and posit T4 blocks some of chest wall musc Total spinal block if too high CSC- combined, lasts longer
