Surgical Imaging in OR-PPT Flashcards
***What is Closed reduction
–Nonsurgical procedure
–Fracture fragments are realigned by manipulation
What is Open reduction
–Surgical procedure
–Screws, plates, or rods
•ORIF (Open reduction with internal fixation)
–Severe fractures
What is External fixation
–Method of immobilizing bones to allow fracture to heal
•Places pins or screws into the bone on both sides
•Pins are secured together outside the skin with clamps and rods
–Quick and easy
***What is Operative Cholangiography?
Performed during biliary tract surgery
–Bile is drained (absence of obstruction); ducts are filled with contrast (6-8 ml)
•Common bile duct through a needle, catheter or T-tube (operative T-tube cholaniography)
–Check for patency of bile ducts and functional status of the sphincter of hepatopancreatic ampulla
•Stones, neoplasms, strictures or dilation of ducts
Perform for Operative Cholangiography
•Patient is supine
–Laparoscopic cases – distended abdomen
•Center C-Arm in the PA projection over right side of abdomen below rib line
–Tilt patient to the left or Trendelenburg position (flow of contrast)
•Portable images
Perform for Chest (Line Placement/Bronchoscopy)
•Supine
•C-Arm enters sterile field perpendicular to patient (PA projection)
–Line placement – point of insertion & follow catheter; verify position & no kinks
»Bronchoscopy – biopsies, stents & dilation
What catheter begins in upper thorax and ends in the heart used for Chest (Line Placement/Bronchoscopy)
Hickman
ACDF stand for
Anterior Cervical Diskectomy & Fusion
What is Cervical Spine (ACDF)
•Common surgical procedure that is used when other non-surgical treatments have failed
–Treats nerve root or spinal cord compression by decompressing and stabilizing the corresponding vertebrae
•Disc is completely removed as well as the disc material pressing on the spinal nerve
•Intervertebral foramen is enlarged with a drill giving the nerve more room
•Remaining space is filled with a bone graft to stabilize the vertebrae
–Bone graft joining the vertebrae = fusion
Perform pt for Cervical Spine (ACDF)
Supine
–Chin elevated and neck flexed
Perform PA projection for Cervical Spine (ACDF)
–PA projection
•Enter perpendicular to patient
•Tilt C-arm 15 degrees cephalad and center over C-Spine
•Raise C-arm for surgeon to work
***Peform Lateral projection for Cervical Spine (ACDF)
–Rotate C-arm from PA projection
•Rainbow position
–Angle C-arm either cephalad or caudal for true lateral
–Spine should be in the center of the field of view
C-Spine (Rainbow Position) may use for
Larger patients if unable to raise C-Arm to obtain anatomy in center of beam
Laminectomy Procedure
Lumbar Spine
–Performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots
•Bony obstructions, stenosis & spinal cord impingement
–Posterior arch of vertebra is removed
•Spinal fusion - number of vertebrae excised
•Interbody fusion cages
–Titanium cages filled with bone inserted between vertebral bodies to maintain disk space height & fuse joint
Perform Lumbar Spine (Laminectomy)
- C-arm = determine correct level & provide fluoro guidance for orthopedic plates and/or screws
- Patient prone
- Needle is placed @ level of laminectomy
- Visualized entire spine to determine correct level – verify by C-arm
- C-arm // to spine to avoid distortion
AP Lumbar Spine (Laminectomy)
Enter perpendicular and center beam over affected area of spine
