Osteoarthritis
What is it?
When does it get worse?
Symptoms?
Heberdon vs Bouchard nodes
Meds/ Treatment:
Loss of articular cartilage –> inflammation
Worse at night:
Crepitance, joint deformity, decreased mobility
-Heberdon nodes: Swell DISTAL interphalangeal joint
-Bouchard nodes: Swell PROXIMAL interphalangeal joints
Meds:
NSAIDS, COX2 (Celecoxib), Steroids at joint (intra-articular therapy), chondroprotective agents
Acu, weight loss, OT, TENS
Rheumatoid Arthritis
What is it?
Symptoms?
When is it worse?
What labs are elevated? (4)
Systemic inflammation
–> Destroy bone, cartilage, joint
–>Wrist/metacarpophalangeal joints + multiple joints
Symptoms:
Subcutaneous rheumatoid nodules
–>Morning stiffness
What labs are elevated?
-Rheumatoid factor
-Anti-immunoglobulin anti-body
-C-reactive protein
-Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
Rheumatoid arthritis anesthesia considerations
Airway:
Cervical spine:
Atlantoaxial subluxation symptoms?
Pulmonary?
Airway:
-Limited TMJ
-Narrow glottic opening
-Cricoartytenoid arthritis
Cervical spine:
-C1 Atlantoaxial instability
-Impingement on C-spine/medulla
-Vertebral artery occlusion
Atlantoaxial subluxation symptoms?
-Headache
-Neck pain
-UE/LE parasthesia with movement
-Bladder/bowel dysfunction
–> to do: X-ray, eval c-spine function
Pulmonary:
- Interstital fibrosis
-Restrictive ventilation pattern
Rheumatoid Arthritis Anesthesia Consideration:
Eyes:
Cardiac:
GI:
Renal:
Eyes: Sjogren syndrome
Cardiac:
-Vasculitis/ Vascular disease
-Peri-carditis/ Cardiac tamponade
GI:
-Gastric ulcers (NSAIDS)
Renal insuffieciency
Pre-op Considerations
General ortho repair?
Pelvic fractures?
Long bone fractures?
Ortho repair –>
-Bleed/shock
-Fat emboli
-Full stomach
Pelvic fractures –> iliac artery–>
-Retroperitoneal space bleeding
Long bone fracture –> bone marrow fat emboli into venous –> resp thrombus
Pre-op Ortho cardiac and respiratory considerations:
Cardiac:
Target HR?
Meds to consider?
Cardiac:
-Continue beta-blockers
-Initiate beta blocker if high risk
-Target HR <80
Consider if taking:
-BP meds
-Opioids/NSAIDS
-Anti-coagulation
Age-related respiratory changes:
1.)
2.)
3.)
1.) Progressive decreased PaO2
2.) Increased closing volume
3.) FEV1 decrease of 10% for each decade
Benefits of regional anesthesia over general anesthesia
LESS OF:
-DVT/PE
-Blood loss
-Respiratory complications
-Death
Fat embolism Syndrome (FES)
Symptoms present in ___ hrs.
Minor symptoms??
Major symptoms??
Labs:
12-72 hours
Minor Symptoms:
-Fever >100.4F
-HR> 120
-Jaundice/ Renal changes
**DYSPNEA
**CONFUSION
**PETECHIAE
LABS
-Fat macroglobulienemia
-Anemia and thrombocytopenia
-^SED rate
–> Male : 0-22 mm/hr (normal)
–> Female: 0-29 mm/hr (normal)
Patho of fat emboli
Resp impact of fat emboli?
Neuro?
Skin?
1.) Fat emboli –> Obstruct end organ capillaries
2.) –> fat metab to FREE FATTY ACIDS
3.) –> Systemic inflammatory response
4.) -Cytokines/ inflammatory invasion
RESP:
-Pulmonary endothelial injury
-Pulmonary edema
-ARDS (<10% cases)
-Mild hypoxemia
-Bilateral alveolar infiltrates
NEURO:
-Drowsy, confused, coma
SKIN:
-Petechial rash to mouth, eyes, chest skin folds, neck, axilla
Treatment for Fat emboli:
How long until symptoms resolve?
Heparin IV
NO N2O
FiO2= 100%
Aggressive resp/circulatory resuscitation. Decrease stress response
Resolves in 3-7 days
Fat emboli common in ____ surgeries? (2)
What do fractures release?
Pelvic fractures
Femoral fractures
Long bone trauma –> release fat droplets into venous system
Fracture: release mediators affecting solubility of lipids in circulation
DVT/ PE RISK FACTORS:
What kinds of surgery?
Length of surgery?
Immobile how long?
Size/Age?
How common?
Treatment?
40-80% without prophylaxis
Types of surgery:
HIP, TKA, Lower extremity trauma
-Surgery > 30 mins
-Immobile: >4 days
-Tourniquet use
Treatment:
-Prophylaxis/ SCD/TED/ Ambulate
-Reduce venous stasis/ augment limb blood flow
-PERI-OP anti-coagulation
For DVT, note if pt are taking these meds.
-Anti-platelet agents
-Thrombolytics
-Fonaparinux
-Direct thrombin inhibitors
-Therapeutic LMWH
