Q

difference between bacteraemia + septicaemia

A

bacteraemia = bacteria in blood stream ranged by immune system

  3. eyes - swelling
  4. specialist environment - FBC, lactate, U&E, CRP +/- coagulation screen
  5. culture + sensitivity - aspirate > swab
28
Q

4 stages of treatment of surgical infection

A
  1. remove cause
  2. institue drainage
  3. prevent spread
  4. restore function
29
Q

type of infection in teeth, periodontist, bone + TMJ

A

bacterial

30
Q

types of infection in soft tissue

A

virus, bacteria + fungi

31
Q

types of infection in salivary glands

A

primary viruses

secondary bacteria

32
Q

3 methods of spread of orofacial infection

A
  1. venous
  2. lymphatics
  3. tissue/fascial planes
33
Q

how does pterygoid plexus + angular veins @ medial cants of eye allow brain infection

A

no valves

34
Q

into which superficial lymph nodes fo FOM, tip of tongue, lower lip + chin drain

A

submental

35
Q

into which superficial lymph nodes fo face, cheek, upper lips, anterior 2/3 of tongue drain

A

submandibular

36
Q

what are tissue spaces

A

not actually spaces
space between fascial planes + muscle attachments
full of connective tissue
CT destroyed by inflammation

37
Q

abscess in which tooth is most likely to cause palatal swelling?

A

lateral incisor

38
Q

how does infection spread if lower molar tooth perforated below mylohyoid?

A

goes below into submittal/submandibular - E/O swelling

39
Q

how does infection spread if lower molar tooth perforated above mylohyoid?

A

into FOM - I/O swelling

40
Q

what does all neck fascia lead to?

A

mediastinum

41
Q

5 consequences of spread of infection from tooth

A
  1. airway obstruction - Ludwig’s angina
  2. intracranial spread
  3. mediastinal infection
  4. necrotising fasciits
  5. sepsis
42
Q

what type of infection is hot potato voice common in

A

quinsy - peritonsillar abscess

43
Q

what is Ludwig’s cellultis

A

bilateral submandibular + sublingual cellulitis

can spread down through lateral pharynx space + larynx = oedema at glottis

44
Q

worrying signs + symptoms of intracranial spread of infection

A
  1. eye closure, altered movement, swelling

2. altered GCS

45
Q

2 complications of intracranial spread of infection

A
  1. cavernous sinus thrombosis

2. brain abscess

46
Q

rule for extra oral drainage to avoid mandibular branch of fascial nerve

A

2cm below inferior border of mandible

47
Q

what sort of epithelium lines maxillary antrum?

A

respiratory epithelium - cilia to allow drainage against gravity

48
Q

what connect maxillary sinus to nose?

A

osmium - allow drainage

49
Q

best imaging for maxillary sinus?

A

CT

50
Q

difference between OAC + OAF

A
