Epidural risks

A

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.

Aspiration to check abs levels

24
Q

Sepsis

A

Vasodilat
Give fluid resus and vasocontrictors
Resulting oedema, then need to mx this, alb and diuretics.

25
Q

CPAP

Press ag exhalation

Opens collapsed small airways

26

Ionotropes and pressins

A

-

27
Q

ECG

A

Axis- leave/reach in V1 and aVF

28
Q

Central venous catheter

A
R IJV shorter than L
Can do R subclavian- more risk pneumothorax
Rarely femoral- risk infec and hidden
Flush and head down to prev air embol
CXR- check for pneumothorax, psoit
Stay in max 10d
29
Q

PIC line

Peripherally inserted cannula

A

Used mainly for TPN
Also chemo
Stay in for up to 6wk

30

Porter cath under skin

32
Q

IPE ischaemic bowel

A

Hx- eld, CVS hx (AF, PVD, atherosclerosis), bloody diarr due to nec, diffuse or non specif pain, high lactate
Can lead to perf then peritonitis and sepsis
High mort
Early sign cramp after eat

33
Q

blood gas

A

Arterial gas if resp fail
Venous gas if no concern resp fail- diff interp of pO2, pCO2 and sats.
Base excess- very neg means TOO MUCH ACID
Important things- pH 7.35-45, pCO2, pO2, lactate, base excess, HCO3.
PH low and CO2 high means resp acidosis
Both low means metab acidosis
Lactate norm 0.4-0.8- indics tiss perfus. High in eg sepsis, isch bowel, DKA.
Look at base excess with lactate
HCO3 slow resp by kidn to chronic CO2 reten

34
Q

Hypoxia

A

Hypoventil- reduc hypox drive, RD, CVA

Resp causes- asthma, pneum, PE, consolid, pthorax, sepsis.

35
