IV, Fluids, Blood Flashcards
(193 cards)
why are NPO guidelines enforced
due to risk of pulmonary aspiration
mendelson syndrome
acute chemical pneumonitis caused by the aspiration of stomach contents in patients under general anesthesia
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) related studies showed that a reduced fasting interval produced
lower residual gastric volume and higher gastric pH.
Prolonged fasting can contribute to
hypovolemia, hypoglycemia, and anxiety
adult traditional NPO guidelines:
-solids
-medications
No solids for 8H pre-op
most medications can be continued with a small sip of water (excluding some cardiac and diabetic meds)
patients at ↑ risk for aspiration
Renal failure, hepatic dysfunction, ascites
Head injury, increased ICP, decreased LOC, cerebral palsy
Anorexia, esophageal disorders, diabetes, delayed gastric emptying, difficulty swallowing
pediatrics 2 hour NPO
clear liquids (water, apple juice, clear juice drinks, clear gelatin, clear broth, ice popsicles, and Pedialyte)
pediatrics 4 hour NPO
human breast milk
pediatrics 6 hours NPO
Infant formula, nonhuman milk, light meal:
pediatrics 8 hours NPO
“full” meal, carbonated drinks
ERAS
Goals
patient-centered, evidence-based, multidisciplinary team developed pathways for a surgical specialty and facility culture
goal: reduce the patient’s surgical stress response, optimize their physiologic function, and facilitate recovery
ERAS care pathways
form an integrated continuum, as the patient moves from home through the pre-hospital / preadmission, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of surgery and home again.
ERAS program fasting recommendation
minimal fasting that includes a carbohydrate beverage two hours before anesthesia,
ERAS Program key elements
pt/family education, patient optimization prior to admission, minimal fasting that includes a carbohydrate beverage two hours before anesthesia, multimodal analgesia with appropriate use of opioids when indicated, return to normal diet and activities the day of surgery, and return home
4-2-1 Rule
guide for hourly maintenance
hourly fluid maintenance for 70kg patient
NPO deficit
Equals the number of hours the patient is NPO x the hourly maintenance rate
Example: 8 hr x 110 mL = 880 mL
NPO fluid administration
50% first hour
25% second hour
25% third hour
output
urine
respiratory tract
evaporative losses
losses due to wounds or bleeding
insensible losses
3rd space fluid losses
Tissue manipulation & surgical trauma supports movement of fluid from the ECF compartment into non-functional compartments
Small Incision/minimal trauma
4-6 ml/kg/hr
Moderate Incision/moderate trauma
6-8 ml/kg/hr
Large/Incision/severe trauma
8-10 ml/kg/hr
Major vascular case/extreme trauma
10-12 ml/kg/hr
