conscious sedation (MAC)
spinal
epidural
local - 19General anesthesiainduction - intubation, gases, IV
maintenance - keeping client unconscious
reversal/wakeup - extubation, airway maintenance - 20Conscious sedation (MAC)Used for scopic cases, podiatry, and ports
induction - IV loading dose, no intubation, often oxygen
Maintenance - small top-up doses, natural state of sleep
Wakeup - natural wakeup process - 21spinal and epiduralspinal - pain control, local anaesthetic, intrathecal space, total block of sensation
epidural - pain control, local anaeathetic, epidural space - 22Local anaesthesiaThe 'caine' family
dermatomes
lidocaine
bupivacaine

maintenance of patient's airway
access to monitoring devices and intravenous lines
maintenance of physiological and anatomically safe patient - 29Factors to consider with positioningsurgical procedure
the surgeons preference
anaesthetists requirements
patient's privacy
physiological effects of positioning on anaesthesised and awake patient
knowledge of anatomical structures - 30Positioning definitionsinferior or caudal - foot of the body
Medial - structure nearest to the midline
Abduction - movement or extremity away from midline
eversion - being turned or rotated outward
pronation - turning of part so that it faces downward - 31Skeletal anatomy - bony prominencesmay cause pressure on overly tissues
external pressure from positioning devices, staff, equipment can also damage blood vessels, nerves, supporting tissues
prominences - ridges, crests, tubercles, trochanters, spines, condyles etc - 32Skeletal anatomymuscles relax under anaesthesia joints at risk of injury - abnormal range of movement
pain and pressure receptors depressed, muscle tone lost
anatomical position avoid undue stress and strain - 33neural anatomynerve damage common complication from positioning
longer and more superficial the nerve, the greater the change of damage
principle cause of injury is ischaemia associated with stretching and compression of nerve
radial nerve - hand grip and use
medial nerve - forearm muscles, hand deformity
ulnar nerve - claw deformity of fingers
sciatic nerve - pain, muscle, paralysis foot drop
common peroneal nerve - foot drop
tibial nerve - calf muscles, numb skin - 34Vascular systemhypotension results from changes in position
anaesthesia dilates vessels - pooling, decreasing circulatory blood volume
positioning therefore must be down slowly - 35Why do you position a pregnant women on her side and which side?the uterus pressing on the vena cava can restrict blood flow
resulting in low blood pressure and decreased cardiac output
left lateral - with wedge, sandbag under her right hip - 36Vascular systemdeep superficial vessels of lower extremities - femoral, popliteal, anterior, posterior tibial, peroneal artieries
external lliac artery - lithotomy - pressure from thighs against abdomen
subclavian and axillary arteries - injured by hyperabduction of arm - 37Lithotomy position why should legs be raised and lowered slowly and simultaneously?raised to compensate for increased venous return
lowered - 500 to 600mls, venous blood return to legs thus drop in blood pressure
* lower over 2 minutes is recommended - 38respiratory system What occurs when the patient is put into trendelenburg position?vital capacity is diminished due to pressure of the abdominal contents against the diaphragm, lung expansion is restricted
more pronounced in obese patients
potential for aspiration when returned to supine, because of accumulation of secretions in the hypopharynx
risk of atelectasis - 39Prone position- respiratory systemrestricted diaphragm movement - limits tidal volume
positioned with devices to allow for unrestrained abdominal movement - 40Respiratory system - lateral positionvital capacity reduced due to pressure on the lower chest wall
chest movement and lung expansion limited
pooling of secretions in the dependent lung, potential for atelectasis - 41Integumentary systemskin over bony prominences is thin with little subcutaneous tissue
when compressed, blood flow is restricted
pathophysiology of a decubitus ulcer formation - cycle of pressure, ischaemia, necrosis - 42pressure ulcersamount and duration of pressure greater than blood pressure - ischaemia and necrosis develop
duration of pressure more important than intensity
procedure longer than 2-3 hours, increased risk - 43positioning probelm - shear forcesshearing occurs when body tissue layers move on eachother - reverse trendelenburg
- 44Risk of complicationssmokers to within 1 month of surgery
very thin
severely obese
presence of diabetic or vascular disease
cardiac, respiratory, intracranial pathology, worse with head down tilt
chronic disease state - 45patient assessmentskin
preoperative, intra, post
reddened areas, turgor, integrity
document any reddened areas and reasses - 46Supine positionarm should not be abducted more than 90 degrees
if arms by sides, pressure should not be put on the styloid process
arthritic patient - raise bed head, pillow under knees - 47relevance for recoveryknowledge of the position used and effect on patients
-haemodynamic state
respiratory function
neurologic function
report any reddened areas - if patient unable to control limb movement - 48Positioning within recoverypositions used
- supine, head at top of mattress
-lateral
-jacknife
-surgical requirements
patient requirements - bed of barouche
positioning requirements - top of bottom - 49All staff duty of caremust ensure patient is positioned with care, dignity, normal body alignment, all pressure points are padded, patient is monitored throughout the operation for movement, documentation
- 50role of instrument nursecheck for adequate supplies and instruments
have availables
knowledge of procedure and process of how it will progress
communication with surgeon for possible variations - 51The sterile fieldgowning, gloving, setup trolley, counting, maintenance of field, getting others scrubbed, prepping, draping, getting started
- 52In surgery - RN responsibilites after incisiondocumentation - who is present, what did we do, did we place any devices on clients skin, did we irrigate, did we implant, safety and supports in place for positioning
specimen, asepsis maintained, communication with scrub nurse, counts, dressings - 53Other issuesmedications, sharps safety, electrical, radiation, laser safety, latex allergies precautions, transmission based precautions
- 54Once surgery is completedressings have been applied
extubation
wakeup
move client back to stretcher -safety
take client to PACU with anasthesia provider - 55RN responsibilities in PACUhelp PACU staff hook up to oxygen
