theme 3 - principles of OS Flashcards
3 places bleeding likely to come from (not tooth) after extraction
- bone
- gingivae
- FOM
what is used for chemical cautery?
silver nitrate
when removing lower 8 what 2 things can be left behind?
- loose bone/root fragment
2. soft tissue pathology
how does suturing promotes healing?
minimises dead space
promotes healing
minimised scarring
4 aspects of ideal suturing
- close in layers
- ensure support
- close approximation of wound edges
- tension free
3 reasons to consider drainage
- infected site
- incision of abscess
- closure of dead space
2 types of drainage
- closed drain
2. open drain
5 ways to minimise infection after extraction
- sterile technique
- minimal damage
- debridement
- elimination of dead space
- drains where appropriate
3 life threatening complications of surgery
- airway obstruction
- haemorrhage
- infections
if tongue pushed back blocking airway how do you resolve this?
chin lift
4 factors infection depends on
- virulence of organsism
- number of organisms
- host resistance
- local anatomy
2 ways commensals change into pathogens
- change site
2. change in host resistance
what happens in days 0-3 of odontogenic infection?
inoculation + acute inflammation
soft mildly tender swelling
what happens in days 3-7 of odontogenic infection?
cellulitis
bacteria penetrating through tissue planes
hard erythematous swelling, warm, painful
what happens in days >5 of odontogenic infection?
abscess
undermines skin/mucosa
compressible + shiny + fluctuant
if you drained cellulitis what would it be?
serosanguinous fluid with flecks of pus
if abscess burst itself what does it become?
chronic abscess
decreased erythema, size + tendernes
residual firmness
microbiology behind sepsis
release of mediators - NO, bradykinin, histamine, prostaglandins due to bacteria or their endotoxins
state of vasodilation, enhanced capillary leak, myocardial depression
how does sepsis differ to infection
aberrant or dysregulated host response
presence of organ dysfunction
what happens in septic shock
end stage sepsis
low BP
serum lactate >2mmol
what is qSOFA?
quick sepsis related organ failure assessment
GCS <15 - drop in >= 1 with proven infection
RR>22
SBP<100
sepsis 6
- oxygen in
- iv broad spectrum antibiotics
- fluids in
- blood cultures (before antibiotics in)
- lactate
- fluid balance monitoring
what is crystalloid used for?
to treat high lactate +/or hypovolaemia in sepsis
what is SIRS?
systematic inflammatory response syndrome - systemic response to septicaremia
difference between bacteraemia + septicaemia
bacteraemia = bacteria in blood stream ranged by immune system
septicaemia = actively dividing bacteria’s in blood stream, leading to SIRS + hypovolemic shock
