OAT: Surgical Patients Flashcards
(90 cards)
why the fuck do you do an OSE on a hospitalized patient?
literally because it just offers clues for overall asessment
good techniques for surgical patients
- MFR/FPR
- still technique
- indirect
- soft tissue
- lymphatic pump
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR SURGICAL PATIENT
- avoid direct manipulation on/over surgical sites for 2wk\
- abd plexus inhibition if midline abdominal incisions or aortic aneurysm
- sigmoid release if recent left hemicolectomy
- mesenteric release if anterior abdomial incisions
- rib rising if fracture or spinal surgery
- pedal pump if DVT, lower extremity fracture, or recent abdominal surg
- lymphatic tx relatively if osseous fracture, bacterial infection with fever over 102, abscess, or certain stages of cx
- TI release if upper rb fracture/clavicle fracture
- liver/spleen pumps if thoracotmy, chest tube, or trauma
early post op: inflammatory stage
day 1-3
early post op: diuresis stage
day 4-6
late post op
1-3 weeks
early post op: inflammatory stage–FOCUS?
circulatory and pulm first; prevent atelectasis and maintain circultation
facilitate lymph flow
techniques: diaphragm release, rib raising, lymphatic pump
early post op: diuresis stage–FOCOUS?
- lymphatic, GI, renal, and ANS
- ensure mobility of thoracic cage and outlet
late post op–OMT retults?
enhances analgesia, reduce complications, aid in recovery, maybe decrease hospital length of stay
why we do OMT them boi in the hospital?
- promote homeostasis and patient abilty to cope
- sleep, ambulation, eating, poopin, pain reflief
- treat dysfuntion that impede homeostatic impede homeostatic porcesses
issues with OMT in hospitalized pt
- privacy
- modesty
- turn off TV
- objects in the way
- surgical incisions and dressings
- decubitous ulcers
how to diagnose spine if they not prone
- spring along axial spine and pelvis
- if too stiff–flexed type 2
- if too squishy–extended type 2
- tissue texture changes
what happens if rapid movements of vertebral unit?
create sympathetic motor outburst from the related an also distant facilitated spinal cord segments
what happen if pain is experienced at a facilitated segment?
creates further facilitation
facilitated segments are often the result of what?
acute visceral processes
muscle has ___ concentration of nociceptors, whereas joint capsules have ____ concentration of nocieptors
low; high
preoperative examination: biomechanical approach
-cervical/thoracic/lumbar/sacrum spinal assesment
preoperative examination: respiratory-circulatory
-lymphatic assesment, cranial assesment, rib motion
preoperative examination: neurologic
-somatovisceral and viscerosomatic considerations, TP conuterstrain exam, chap reflex
OMT pre-op to reduce mid cervical SD has been shot to what?
decrease post op pulmonary complications
what is one cause of increased chronic pain?
facilitation
Pre-op assement for surgical risk factors: Cardiac
ejection fraction <35%, presence of JVD, recet MI w/i 6months
Pre-op assement for surgical risk factors: pulmonary
smoking, COPD, sleep apnea, rib SD
Pre-op assement for surgical risk factors: hepatic
ascites, bilirubin >2, prothrombin time >16s, albumin <3, encephalopathy
