Urology Flashcards
caudal blocks:
- peds up to how many kg?

- 0.375% ropivacaine with epi
- 6 years
does 0.375% ropivacaine with provide the sole anesthetic for laparoscopic, open or both?
open
caudal block:
- what gauge needle?
- locate what spines and palpate what cornu? (PSIS, SC)
- advance the needle at what degree cephalad or caudal?
- what ligament are you piercing with the needle? (SL)
- 22 gauge
- posterior superior iliac spines, sacral cornu
- 45 degrees cephalad
- sacrococcygeal ligament
strangulated bowel loop:
- is this an emergency?
- what type of intubation technique?
- do you mask them?
- yes
- RSI
- no
posterior urethral valves:
- spectrum of urethral what that vary from mild to severe? (O)
- is prenatal or postnatal more severe?
- ultrasound can diagnosis this prenatal by what 3 signs? (BD, M, H)
- what are the 3 postnatal signs? (DUO, UR, PUS)
- obstruction
- prenatal
- bladder distention, megaureters, hydronephrosis
- decreased urine output, urinary retention, poor urine stream
avoid anesthesia within how many hours of dialysis to prevent hypovolemia?
12 hours
posterior urethral valves:
- when renal insufficiency occurs, the concentration mechanism is often impaired leading to an increase or decrease in urine output?
- does this lead to relative hypervolemia or hypovolemia?
- treatment is primary valve what to decompress the urogenital system? (A)
- what is anesthesia plan for this procedure?
- increase
- hypovolemia
- ablation
- GA with LMA
what are the 4 anesthesia worries with the primary valve ablation performed under cystoscopy? (AD, H, PNI, EA)
- airway distance
- hypothermia
- peroneal nerve injury
- electrolyte abnormalities
Vesicoureteral reflux:
- what is happening?
- what 3 steps can result? (P, RS, DRF)
- mild forms are treated with what? (A)
- in severe forms, what is injected into the ureter to prevent reflux? (D)
- what classic surgery is performed for this? (UR)
- urine reflux from the bladder to the ureters
- pyelonephritis, renal scarring, decreased renal function
- antibiotics
- deflux
- ureter reimplantation
what is the antibiotic given for vesicoureteral reflux?
bactrim
ureteral reimplantation:
- postop pain is often intense necessitating 2 to 3 days of continuous LA via an indwelling catheter, which can be in what 2 areas? (C, L)
- what anesthesia technique for this procedure?
- are neuromuscular blockers needed?
- caudal, lumbar
- GETA
- yes
pyeloplasty:
- what is surgically reconstructed in this procedure? (RP)
- this procedure is indicated for renal congestion, what is the common junction for renal congestion? (UJ)
- procedure can be performed in what position and does this position increase or decrease venous return?
- what is the anesthetic technique for this procedure and is it with or without paralytics?
- renal pelvis
- ureteropelvic junction
- jackknife, decrease
- GETA with paralytic
what are pts who undergo a ureteral reimplantation on that pts who undergo a pyeloplasty not on?
antibiotics
what is the main anesthetic implications difference between pts undergoing a ureteral reimplantation and pyeloplasty? (P)
positioning
pyeloplasty:
- what 2 positions can this be performed in?
- where is the epidural catheter placed for this procedure? (HL, LT)
- what LA is given after catheter insertion to set the block before the table is jackknifed?
- what 2 LAs can be given after as an infusion? (B, R)
- prone, lateral
- high lumbar, low thoracic
- 2% lidocaine with epi
- bupivacaine, ropivacaine
laparoscopic pyeloplasty:
1. mean retroperitoneal pressure of how much can increase PETCO2, increase peak inspiratory pressure and decrease BP?
- 12 mmHg
what are the 5 anesthesia concerns with cystoscopy pyelograms? (DFA, PND, H, CA, AA)
- distance from airway
- peroneal nerve damage
- hypothermia
- contrast allergy
- amoxicillin allergy
why can’t we use a lower bair hugger for cystoscopy pyelograms? (B)
burns
