Question
Answer
What is a hysteroscopy (slide 2-1)?   inside of the uterus is fiberoptically visualized by dilating w/ gas (CO2) or fluids (LR or glycine)  
🗑
2 Advantages of laparoscopy are (slide 2-2):   less pain, less pulm dysfxn postop  
🗑
What are some adverse effects of laparoscopy (slide 2-3)?   hypercapnia, increases resistance (PIP) to ventilation, hypoxia d/t V/Q mismatch & decreased FRC; arrhythmias (vagal stretching = brady); low cardiac output; organ or blood vessel puncture w/ gas embolism and/or hemorrhage  
🗑
What should be the pressure of the machine delivering the gas used for insufflation (slide 2-3)?   should be less than 15 mmHg  
🗑
Physiologic complications of pneumoperitoneum are caused by these 3 principle things (slide 3-1):   mechanical pressure, neurohumoral substance release (vasopressin, renin, norepi, dopamine)  
🗑
Hemodynamic change to SVR d/t pneumoperitoneum is (slide 3-2):   SVR increases (d/t renin, vasopressin, & mechanical compression of intra-abd vessels)  
🗑
Hemodynamic changes to CVP d/t pneumoperitoneum are (slide 3-2):   CVP increases (if IAP <20 mmHg) or decreases (if IAP >30 mmHg) & is confounded by position & intravasc volume status. probably d/t mechanical pressure on abd vessels  
🗑
Hemodynamic change to stroke volume d/t pneumoperitoneum are (slide 3-3):   reduced, probably d/t increased afterload & decreased right filling pressures (preload)  
🗑
Hemodynamic change to cardiac output d/t pneumoperitoneum are (slide 3-3):   complex, variable, usually decreased; depends on position, hydration, amount of IAP; CO may increase d/t neurohumoral factors (renin & vasopressin) & increased HR  
🗑
Hemodynamic change to BP d/t pneumoperitoneum are (slide 3-3):   usually increases concurrent w/ increased SVR  
🗑
What causes arrhythmias during laparascopy (slide 4-2)?   reflex increases of vagal tone may result from sudden stretching of peritoneum & electrocoagulation of fallopian tubes  
🗑
What types of arrhythmias may occur during laparascopy (slide 4-2)?   bradycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, & asystole  
🗑
What accentuates vagal stimulation during laparoscopy (slide 4-2)?   if level of anesthesia is too superficial or if pt is taking beta blockers  
🗑
What is the treatment for arrhythmias that may occur during laparascopy (slide 4-2)?   interruption of insufflation, atropine, & deepening of anesthesia after recovery of heart rate  
🗑
During laparascopy, when do cardiac irregularities most likely occur (slide 4-3)?   early during insufflation, when pathophysiologic hemodynamic changes are the most intense  
🗑
What can high insufflation pressures do to EKG (slide 4-3)?   QT prolongation  
🗑
During CO2 pneumoperitoneum, how long does it take for PaCO2 to reach plateau (slide 5-1)?   15 - 30 min after the beginning of CO2 insufflation  
🗑
Hypercapnic levels > 50 mmHg may cause (5-1):   arrhythmias, increased cerebral blood flow & ICP, peripheral vasodilation, pulm vasoconstriction  
🗑
A significant rise in PaCO2 during laparoscopic procedure may be due to:   CO2 SQ emphysema  
🗑
Treatment for SQ CO2 emphysema due to lap procedure is:   temporarily interrupt insufflation to allow CO2 elimination & resume after correction of hypercapnia using lower insufflation pressure, controlled mechanical ventilation until hypercapnia is corrected (esp COPD pts)  
🗑
CO2 in the pleural space is called:   capnothorax  
🗑
The most feared and dangerous complication of laparoscopic surgery is:   gas embolism  
🗑
What injuries may occur from lithotomy position?   common peroneal nerve, saphenous nerve (pressure over medial tibial condyle), sciatic nerve may be stretched by hyperflexion of hip & extension of knee, popliteal fossa compression  
🗑
When pt is placed in trend/steep trend, what intervention must be done w/ ETT?   check bilateral breath sounds to make sure ETT did not move during reposition  
🗑
complications of head down positioning combined w/ pneumoperitoneum are:   V/Q mismatch (hypoxia, etCO2 + paCO2); shunt, deadspace  
🗑
If LMA will be used for lap surgery, what is the 15 rule that must be followed?   no more than 15 degrees head down, 15 in, 15 cm H2O IAP  
🗑
What level of neuraxial blockade is indicated for pelvic cases?   T6 - T8  
🗑
What part of the brain does oxytocin come from?   posterior pituitary  
🗑
Fast infusion of oxytocin may cause (4 things):   vasodilation, hypotension, flushing, reflex tachycardia  
🗑
Oxytocin is structurally similar to _____ and high doses may cause _______   ADH; water retention  
🗑
