Q

Steps of the Bier Block (10 Step)

A
  1. IV line on the NON- operative hand
  2. Double pneumatic tourniquet is placed on the upper arm with the proximal and distal tourniquets clearly identified
  3. IV is inserted, cannula flushed with saline before capping
  4. Entire arm is then elevated for 1-2 minutes to allow for passive exsanguination. After exsanguination , while still keeping the arm up , rubber esmarch bandage is wrapped around the arm spirally from the hand to the distal cuff of the double tourniquet, to exsanguinate the extremity completely
  5. While the axillary artery is digitally occluded, proxmial inflated to 50-100 mmHg, ABOVE systolic arterial pressure.
  6. Sequence for INITIAL Tourniquet management:
    a. Exsanguinate by elevation and tourniquet wrapping
    b. Inflate Distal cuff
    c. Inflate Proxima cuff
    d. Deflate distal cuff.
  7. Inject LA
  8. After reaching correct pressure, Esmarch bandage is removed, and 12-15 ml of preservative free 2% lidocaine is injected via the indwelling catheter 20ml/min
  9. After the injection, arm is lowered to the level of the table. The IV cannula from the anesthesized hand is removed, and in a sterile manner, pressure is quickly appried over the puncture site.
  10. The onset of anesthesia is almost immediate,

THE TIBIAL AND THE COMMON PERONEAL.

87
Q

Popliteal Anatomy: AS THE SCIATIC NERVE DESCENDS TOWARD THE KNEE, The tibial and the common peroneal nerve

A

EVENTUALLY DIVERGE IN THE POPLITEAL FOSSA TO
CONTINUE THEIR DESCENT SEPARATELY AS THE TIBIAL, AND COMMON PERONEAL NERVES.
THE DIVISION OF THESE TWO COMPONENTS USUALLY OCCURS APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 4 AND 10 CM PROXIMAL TO THE POPLITEAL FOSSA CREASE.

88
Q

The larger of the two : Tibial vs common peroneal

A

THE TIBIAL NERVE (THE LARGER OF THE TWO) CONTINUES ITS VERTICAL PATH THROUGH THE POPLITEAL FOSSA, WITH TERMINAL BRANCHES IN THE MEDIAL AND LATERAL PLANTAR NERVES.

89
Q

IMPERATIVE FOR THE ANESTHESIA PROVIDER TO CAREFULLY RULE OUT INTRAVASCULAR NEEDLE PLACEMENT BY CAREFUL ASPIRATION AND SLOW
INJECTION OF LOCAL ANESTHETICS.

A

THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE POPLITEAL ARTERY AND VEIN MAKES IT

90
Q

Popliteal Block goal

A

GOAL IS TO INJECT LA INTO THE COMMON EPINEURIUM THAT ENVELOPS THE TIBIAL NERVE AND THE COMMON PERONEAL NERVE, BUT ASPIRATE 1ST AND NEVER INJECT AGAINST HIGH PRESSURE.

91
Q

MIDPOINT OF THE CREASE.

92
Q

Block for mastectomy

A

Pec I and Pec II (Pectoralis II)

PVB

93
Q

PEC I is

A

injection of local anesthetic in the fascial plane between the pectoralis major and minor muscles. A further modification is the serratus plane block, in which local anesthetic is injected between the serratus anterior and latissimus dorsi muscles.

94
Q

PEC II is

A

The Pecs II block (which also includes the Pecs I block) is an extension that involves a second injection lateral to the Pecs I injection point in the plane between the pectoralis minor and serratus anterior muscles with the intention of providing blockade of the upper intercostal nerves.

95
Q

Unlike PEC I, PEC II COVER

A

upper intercostal nerves

96
Q

With epidural, medication spreads to the regions of the

A

“dural-cuffs”, where it is able to diffuse into the CSF and
leak into the intravertebral foramen and paravertebral
spaces to achieve analgesia/anesthesia.

97
Q

Most epidurals are performed in

A

the sitting position however, left lateral decubitus position is often used as well.

98
Q

Landmark for epidural

A

Palpate the superior aspects of the iliac crest and identify the intersection at the L4 spinous process.

99
Q

Remember; there are two ways to dose an epidural

catheter:

A

 1. Using a high volume of a low concentration of LA.

 2. Using a low volume of a high concentration of LA.

100
Q

The two most common needles used in placement of the epidural catheter are

A

Hustead, and the Toughy, with the Toughy having

the most curvature.

101
Q

the “Wings” on the epidural needle allow the

anesthetist to

A

grasp the needle to provide accurate pressure in

placement.

102
Q

For epidurals, Lipid solubility may account for the difference in

A

diffusion rates into the CSF.

103
Q

Epidural catheter insertion depth

A

Normal depth of insertion is approximately 12cm at the skin.There is a long black line between the 11-12cm insertion marks

104
Q

Epidural catheter marking

A

Catheters are marked with black lines indicating depth of insertion, usually at the 1cm-20cm range. Each 5 cm is marked with two black lines; 5 cm=1 black line, 10cm-2black lines, etc
