Q

what are some ways a C/S can be prevented/avoided

A

Q

mom has a CLE but is having to be converted to C/S, what should you do before dosing the CLE

Study These Flashcards
A

check the level of your block

25
aspiration prophylaxis for C/S
1. bicitra/alka-seltzer (non particulate antacid) 2. pepcid 3. reglan 4. prilosec (omeprazole)
26
Abx for C/S
1. 2 gms of ancef (<120 kg) 2. 3 gm of ancef (> 120 kg)
27
________________ is the preferred anesthesia for C/S
neuraxial
28
what are the options for anesthesia during C/S
1. labor epidural dosed for anesthetic block 2. spinal block 3. GA
29
epidural doses of local anesthetics & opioids are _________x ____________ than spinal doses
5-10 higher
30
T/F: there is more systemic absorption of local/opioids with epidural than spinal
true - d/t epidural spaces proximity to engorged venous plexus
31
benefits of epidural for C/S
1. already in place (was placed for labor epidural) 2. slower onset --> less hotn 3. more titration allowed for level, density, and duration 4. quicker start to surgery
32
what are the local anesthetics that are used in epidural during C/S
1. 2% lido + 5 mcg/mL epi 2. chloroprocaine 3% 3. Bupiv 0.5% 4. ropiv 0.5%
33
what is the dose of 2% lidocaine + 5 mcg/mL of epi in epidural for C/S
300-500 mg 20 mL of this = 400 mg
34
what is the duration of action of 2% lidocaine with 5 mcg/mL of epi used in epidural for C/S
75-100 min
35
what is the dose of 3% chloroprocaine used in epidural for C/S
450-750 mg in 20 mL = 600 mg
36
what is the dose of 0.5% bupivicaine used in epidural for C/S
75-125 mg
37
what is the dose of 0.5% ropiv used in epidural for C/S
75-125 mg
38
what is the DOA of 3% chloroprocaine dose in epidural for C/S
40-50 min **wears off fast!
39
what is the DOA of 0.5% bupivicaine & 0.5% ropivicaine used in epidural for C/S
120-180
40
what is the dose of fentanyl used in epidural for C/S
50-100 mcg
41
what is the dose of sufenta used in epidural for C/S
10-20 mcg
42
what is the dose of morphine used in epidural for C/ S
3-4 mg
43
what is the dose of meperidine used in epidural for C/S
50-75 mg
44
what is the DOA of fentanyl and sufenta in epidural for C/S
120 -240 min
45
what is the DOA of morphine when dosed in epidural for C/S
720-1440 min
46
what is the DOA of meperidine when dosed in epidural for C/S
240-720 min
47
what other medications can you give when epidural is not sufficient for surgical pain during C/S
1. N2O 2. IV duramorph 3. more LA 4. propofol 5. ketmaine 6. precedex 7. OK anesthesia (ondansetron and ketorolac) 8. verbal reassurance *if this still is not enough, you will have to convert to GA
48
your pt is having to be sent back for emergency C/S, she has a CLE providing adequate analgesia to T10; what volume of anesthetic would be required to extend this level of block to the T4 level
10-20 mL of LA
49
benefits of adding epi to LA
1. minimizes systemic absorption 2. increases density of sensory and motor block 3. increases DOA of LA
50
benefit of adding bicarb to LA
speeds onset and augments quality of block d/t more LA being in non-ionized state on injection
51
common dose of bicarb added to LA
2 mEq
52
baricity of LA = ______________/____________
density of LA / density of CSF
53
LA movment within CSF is depdent on ____________ in relation to CSF at 37 C
specific gravity
54
LA in dextrose = _______________baric
hyper
55
LA in water = ____________baric
hypo
56
LA in NS = ___________baric
iso
57
spinal marcaine is always _____________baric
hyper (mixed in dextrose)
