Vascular/Trauma Flashcards
How long to TIA’s last?
24 hrs or less
Risk of stroke in first 48 hrs of TIA?
4-10%
Risk of pseudoanuerysm after endovascular access? Sx’s
0.5-8%
Presents with pain at access site and pulsatile mass.
Confirm with arterial duplex
Treatment for pseudoanerysm after endovascular access?
Try ultrasound compression for 10-30 minutes
Direct thrombin injection
However if large (>5cm) and overlying skin compromise then patient needs immediate surgical repair.
Treatment for claudication?
Risk factors for cardiac mortality much higher than limb loss, thus start:
- High dose statin
- ASA vs plavix vs Cilostrazol
- Smoking sessation
- Exercise training
Revascularize only for sever disease or medical therapy has failed
MOA of cilotrazol?
PDE3 inhibitor which decreases PKA which inhibits platelet aggregation
- also decreasing PKA leads to vasodilation
Median sternotomy is needed for access to which arteries?
Ascending aorta Aortic arch Innominate artery Right subclavian Left common carotid
What is infra/supraclavicular incisions give you access too? Arteries that is.
axillary and subclavian arteries
What is the incision for access to left subclavian artery?
3rd interspace anterior thoracotomy
Leriche triad?
Buttock claudication
Abscess femoral pulses
Impotence
- lesions at aortic bifra an aorto-bifemoral bypass
- presents in younger people than infrainguinal disease
Treatment for popliteal aneurysms?
If greater than 2cm needs bypass WITH ligation
Marfan’s syndrome mutation?
Fibrillin gene or FBN1
What is indication to fix facial nerve injury in trauma?
If the lac is lateral to the lateral canthus of eye.
Facial nerve has arborization when medial to this.
- Otherwise needs surgical exploration
Tx for facial nerve injury lateral to lateral canthus of eye?
approximate epineural layers
landmark for distal panc vs whipple for pancreatic trauma?
SMV.
to Right of SMV suggest whipple or debridement of head and place drains. Delayed whipple
Most common complication of pancreatic injury?
Fistula
- Drain amylase 3x serum
- typically <200cc/day–> take 2 weeks to treat
Tx for fistula after panc trauma?
NPO
TPN
Octreotide
Conservative management
Findings of pancreatic trauma on CT?
HYPOattenuation
What causes trauma to central tendon of diaphragm?
Blunt trauma, penetrating can happen anywhere
GCS based on worst or best score?
Best
what is the Mattox maneuver and what is it used for? AKA?
“left medial visceral rotation” Medialize the left lateral organs.
Spleen, left colon, tail of pancreas, fundus of stomach and left kidney are all moved midline.
-needed for supramesocolic active hemorrhage. Get supraceliac exposure . You can divide left crus if needed to get into chest cavity.
Main steps of Mattox maneuver?
incise white line of told. Sharply incise spleno-diaphragmatic attachments and then bluntly dissect organs away from posterior abdominal muscles
Distal ureteral injuries need?
Reinplantation of ureter into bladder.
- two layer absorbable sutures
How do middle ureter transections get repaired?
Transureteroureterostomy
