Abdominal Procedures Flashcards
(99 cards)
Vent management of laparotomy
- Low tidal volumes (6-8 mL/kg IBW)
- Monitor peak inspiratory pressures!
* High PIP may prevent abdominal closure - Plateau pressure <16 mmHg
- moderate PEEP, titrated to effect
- Recruitment maneuvers.
lapatotomy IVF mangement under resusitation
hypovolemia
inadequate tissue perfusion
metabolic acidosis
organ dysfunction
laparotomy IVF management over resuscitation
tissue edema
pulmonary edema
impaired oxygenation
anastomotic breakdown
visceral pain organ after laparotomy
Stretch & inflammation of the peritoneum
Resolves quicker than somatic pain
somatic pain skeletal after laparotomy
Skin & muscle incision.
Interferes with deep breathing, coughing, mobilization, ambulation.
5 effects of poorly controlled pain
Past c
Atelectasis
Pneumonia
Cardiac complications (ischemia)
Thromboembolic events
Stress response
(cortisol, IL, cytokine)
Anesthesia
Considerations for
Laparotomy:
Multimodal Pain
Management
- Thoracic epidural
- TAP block t8-l1
Opioid & non-opioid analgesics
* Short & long-acting opioids
* Ketamine, lidocaine,
magnesium,
dexmedetomidine
* NSAIDs?
Pneumoperitoneum Closed vs Open
closed (Veress needle)
open (Hasson trocar)
benefits of CO2 for insufflation
increases work and view space
inexpensive
colorless
nonflammable
inexplosive
nontoxic
min risk of air embolism
Drawbacks of CO2 insufflation
Hypercarbia
Respiratory acidosis
Irritation of peritoneum
Diaphragm (postop shoulder pain)
Insufflation Pressure
should be less than <15mmHg
Insufflation Pressure effect on CV system
Increased HR, SVR, MAP
caused by compression of vessels & release of vasopressin/renin
Vagal-mediated bradycardia from peritoneal stretch during insufflation
release pneumoperitoneum
administer medications
(Glyco, atropine, ephedrine, epinephrine)
slow insufflation <16mmHg
CO2 effect on QT
prolongs QT
Respiratory effects of pneumoperitoneum
increases PIP, paco2, etco2
diaphragm cephalad
deceased FRC and FEV
decreased compliance
atelectasis
shunt
VQ mismatch
pulmonary vasoconstriction
Offset effects of pneumoperitoneum
acidosis: increase minute ventilation by 20-30%
Penumo Neuro Effects
CO2 = cerebral vasodilation
hypercarbia increases ICP & is exaggerated in trendelenburg
depressed consciousness PaCo2 >80mmHg
Pneumo effect on hepatic and splanchnic
- Increased lipid & protein oxidative
substances - Elevated liver enzymes
- CO2 has vasodilatory effect on
splanchnic vessels
Insufflation Pressure Effect on the Renal System
- Decrease UO and GFR
- Increase CC, sympathetic response, & renal vasoconstriction.
Three hormones released during pneumoperitoneum
Release of ADH, renin, and aldosterone.
Insufflation Pressure affects the respiratory system
- Increase ETCO2, PCO2, PIP, ITP
- Decreased arterial pH, VC, FRC, compliance = atelectesis, VQ mismatch, shunt.
- Diaphram cephalad
- Risk of endobronchial intubation from upward displacement of carina
- Pulmonary vasoconstriction.
- PCV > VCV to maintain PaCO2, lower peak and mean airway pressures, careful release of pneumoperi —> watch TV
What to do when a patient has vagal-induced bradycardia from insufflation?
release pneumoperitoneium
administer glyco, atropine, epi, ephedrine
slow reinsufflation
<16mmHg
cardiac conduction & pneumoperitoneum
prolongs QT –> vent instability
