Surgery Flashcards
LGIB >40 most common cause
Diverticulosis
Upper go bleeding surgical indications
6 or more units of blood in first 24hrs Re bleed with maximal therapy Esophageal varicies despite measures-> TIPS Perforation Gastric outlet obstruction
Sbo cause
Adults adhesions Kids hernia
Progressive dysphagia dx step
carcinoma: barium swallow, endocsopy is diagnostic but you have to do barium first to prevent perf
Complication of ileum resection
hyperoxaluria=>nephrolithiasis
Hypomagnesium cause and manifestation
malnourshed or large GI loses Similar to hypocalcium: parasthesia, hyperreflexia, tetany ECG differentiates between hypomag vs hypocalc long QT Pr, st depression, inverted p, torsades
PVD preop testing
pharm stress test, stress test adequate for CAD but he cant exercise b/c PVD
HIT manifestation and tx
POD 5 platelets down 50% or <100,000 Stop heparin, start direct thrombin inhibitor(lepirudin, argatroban) convert to warfarin if needed
Low cardiac output state=>sudden epigastric pain
Acute mesenteric Ischemia peritoneal signs=> lap w/o peritoneal signs=> angiography
factors preventing Fistula closure
FRIENDS foreign body Radiation Inflammation Epithelialization of the tract Neoplasm Distal obstruction Steroids
Severe Hemophilia A surgery control
DDAVP + AMICAR(e-aminocarproic acid) inhibitor of fibrinolysis can also use cryoprecipitate or VIII concentrate
stress fraction for calculating cal needs
starvation .9 post op 1.1 organ failure 1.5 >50% body burns 2.0x
Goldman’s risk assessment
S3 gallop or JVD 11
MI within 6 months 10
>5PVC’s/min 7
Non sinus rhythm or SR with APC’s on ECG 7
Age > 70 5
>25 class IV 22% risk
13-25 class III 11% risk
Cardiac pre-op assessment
<35 no cardiac hx = ECG cardiac hx or old = ECG + stress or ECHO
Antibiotic proph
Cefazolin
Colorectal/Appendectomy: Cefoxitin or Cefotetan
Urologic: Cipro
ENT: Cefazolin or clinda and gent
Most common cause of fever within 24 hours
Atelectasis macrophage mediated, reduced by early ambulation, spiro tx
Wells’ PE Criteria
signs and symptoms 3 alternative dx less likely 3 tachy>100 1.5 Immobilization or surgery in the previous four weeks 1.5 Previous DVT or PE 1.5 Hemoptysis 1.0 Malignancy 1.0 >6 66.7% 2-6 20.5%
SSI bacteria
abdomen: G- or anaerobes ENT: Strept All others: Staph
Post op fever
Wind (Atelectasis) Water (UTI) Wound Walking (PE) Wonder Drugs
Shift curve to right(O2 unloading)
Acidosis(hypovent->PCO2 up), hypertherm, DPG(chronic hypoxia)
shift curve to left(decrease unloading)
Alk, hypotherm, low DPG(banked blood)
Hypo Shock Stages
I - <15% 750
II - 15-30% 750-1500 - tachy(1st(, tachypnea, tilt, oliguria,
III - 30-40% (1500-2000) - hypotension
IV - 40% bad
Neurogenic Shock tx
loss of sympathetic tone and loss of reflexive tachy
Fluid resusitation followed by dobutamine or phenylephrine
Fam hx of prolonged prolonged anesth paralysis
pseudocholinesterase deficiency
avodi succinylcholine and mivacurium
Post op resp acid, hypoxemia, hypercarbia
hypercarb is diagnostic of alveolar hypoventilation
