diaphragmatic procedures performed through _____
lateral or thoracoabdominal incision
operative side elevated (1/4 turn from prone) uppermost arm elevated forward and flexed at elbow and behind head incision downward between 4th thoracic vertebrae and the scapula
posterolateral thoracotomy
muscle considerations for posterolateral thoracotomy
serratus anterior divided close to origin to preserve function avoid long thoracic nerve
operative side elevated (1/4 turn from supine) uppermost arm elevated forward and place beneath the back
anterolateral thoracotomy
muscle considerations for anterolateral thoracotomy

Median Sternotomy
why ventilate
impending or established respiratory failure inadequate ventilation and or oxygenation
use an inflatable device to increase lumen size use a peripheral access site into coronary arteries to site of lesion contrast dye to assess blood flow risk associated with these procedures short length of stay

tiny spring like devices placed into stenotic lesion once positioned, inflated and remain in place increase luminal diameter to restore blood flow
endoluminal stents
artery becomes completely occluded venous grafts come from either or both saphenous veins median sternotomy performed, pt on heart/lung machine graft placed above and below lesion site chest wall closed and recovery process begins
