Anaesthesia in Cardiac Patients for Non-cardiac SurgeryRashad Siddiqi
The reader should be able to:
(1) identify factors which will lead to increased cardiovascular risk for patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery
(2) decide which patients require further cardiovascular testing
(3) make optimization plan for such patients
(4) understand the principles of anaesthesia for patients with cardiac disease
pain management after craniotomy and spine surgery. as a neuroanesthesiologist it our duty to manage post operative pain. pain in these patient are under treated.
Management of post operative wound infectionBashir BnYunus
post operative wound infection now surgical site infection is a common post operative complication especially in developing countries and the 2nd most common nosocomial infection. it leads to prolong hospital stay among other complications
Anaesthetic considerations for Robotic Surgery, What to expect, how to go ahead. An update and incite on the intricacies of Robotic Surgery and Anaesthetic implications.
Principles of surgery. Day case surgery is a rapidly evolving surgical sub speciality that seeks to eliminate the need for prolonged admission in surgical patients and the attendant complications of prolonged immobilization. It is based on the documented evidence that most post op patients does not require specialised post op care and hence can be allowed to recover at home. This form of surgery appeals to patients and their families due to the fact that it allows only minimal interruption of patient's social life

Let’s face it hospitals are stressful places; and increased levels of stress due to the kind of environment that you’re in, would surely not help you recover any faster. I believe that the transitory space of the reception lobby has to be sensitively dealt with to bring back the sense of control that a person loses when he’s sick.
I would like to bring to your attention that this is the first phase of a systematic refurbishment of the Prahran Surgical & Ambulatory Care Center.
The patient information area, the central lobby space & the commercial areas. These then house the following functions. The floor space consists of 150 and 200 sq. mts. Thus, bringing the total floor space to roughly about 400 sq. mts.

Post-operative care refers to the medical attention and support provided to a patient after they have undergone a surgical procedure. It involves the monitoring, management, and assistance necessary to promote healing, prevent complications, and ensure a smooth recovery following surgery. Post-operative care may include various aspects such as: Monitoring vital signs: Regular monitoring of the patient's blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and oxygen levels to detect any changes or abnormalities. Pain management: Administering appropriate pain medication to alleviate post-operative pain and discomfort. Wound care: Dressing changes, cleaning, and monitoring the surgical incision site to prevent infection and promote healing. Managing drains and catheters: If applicable, monitoring and managing any surgical drains or catheters in place to prevent complications and ensure proper functioning. Medication management: Administering and managing medications prescribed by the surgeon, including antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, or other necessary medications. Mobility and rehabilitation: Assisting the patient with early mobilization, ambulation, and providing guidance on exercises or physical therapy to restore functionality and prevent complications like blood clots or muscle stiffness. Dietary guidance: Advising the patient on dietary restrictions or modifications, as well as providing appropriate nutrition to support healing and recovery. Patient education: Providing instructions and information to the patient and their caregivers regarding post-operative care, including wound care, medication management, signs of complications, and follow-up appointments. The specific post-operative care plan may vary depending on the type of surgery, the patient's condition, and the surgeon's recommendations. The goal of post-operative care is to ensure the patient's well-being, promote healing, and facilitate a successful recovery.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
2. Measurement of Outcomes of Elective
Surgery
• Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL)
• Patients self reported HRQOL for specific
elective surgical procedures is a more valid
outcome measure than a surgeons own
impression of outcome
• Objective assessments must incorporate the
patient’s view of the impact of the procedure
on their HRQOL
3. Emotional and Physical Reactions from
Plastic Surgery
• Physical Reactions
– Patients must be aware of nature’s “healing
curve”
– Timetable for swelling, bruising, tightness, and
numbness must be re-enforced
– 4 weeks to “looking good”
– 3 months to “healed”
4. OUTPATIENT SURGERY
• Plastic Surgery procedures
• 80% are performed as day surgery
procedures
• Majority are ASA class I and II
• Can we refine the patient experience?
5. Pre-Operative Preparation
• Patient information and informed consent
– General information
– Specific information
– Smoking and increased surgical risks
– Thrombosis risk factor assessment
– Emotional & Physical reactions from Plastic Surgery
6. Smoking and Increased Surgical Risk
• Nicotine –vasoconstriction may compromise
circulation to tissue
– Facelift
– Breast Reduction
– Abdominoplasty
– Free tissue transfers and skin flaps
7. Stop Smoking
• One month prior to surgery
• Two weeks after surgery
• Patient must sign “Smoking and Increased
Surgical Risks” form
• Cancel surgery if still smoking
10. Sequential Compression Device
• Surgery over 1 hour and patient over 40
places patient in moderate risk category for
DVT
• Routine use of SCD in Plastic Surgery
procedures
11. Oral Contraceptives and DVT
• Increased risk with oral contraceptives and
hormone replacement therapy
• Stop BCP/HRT therapy (if possible) 1 cycle pre-
op and 1 cycle post op
• Informed consent regarding DVT and
Pulmonary Embolism
12. Emotional and Physical Reactions from
Plastic Surgery
• Emotional Roller Coaster
– Low point day 3 to 4
– Support person crashes end of first week
– Feeling good by end of 2nd
week
– Office staff must not “abandon” patient
13. Postoperative Recovery
• Hypothermia (core temp < 36 C.)
– Over 70% of post op patients are hypothermic (depressed
thermoregulation, exposure, IV fluids, skin preps)
– Results in:
• ^ Oxygen consumption post op (shivering)
• ^ Cardiac output, hypertension, PVC’s, and arrhythmias
• ^ Patient discomfort = ^ Narcotic requirement
• LONGER STAYS IN THE RECOVERY ROOM
14. Hypothermia
• Patient Warming System
– Surrounds the patient with warm air at desired
temperature:
• Low 30-34 degrees
• Medium 36-40 degrees
• High 42-46 degrees
15. Patient Warming System
• Use intra-operatively for procedures longer than 2
hours
• Use postoperatively for procedures longer than 1
hour
• In ALL cases, there is a dramatic reduction in narcotic
requirement, post operative nausea and vomiting.
• In ALL cases, there is an enhanced speed of post
operative stabilization of the patient.
17. Postoperative Recovery
• ZOFRAN (Ondansetron HCl)
– 4mg I.V. q4hr. Prn
– Marked reduction in post operative nausea and
vomiting
– Increased comfort for the patient
– More rapid discharge following Day Surgery
18. Postoperative Recovery
• Nerve Blocks
– Peripheral nerve blocks with long acting
anaesthetics (Marcaine) provide enhanced patient
comfort and facilitate earlier discharge
– Reduced requirements for narcotics
postoperatively
– May be performed by the anesthesiologist or
surgeon while the patient is still under
anaesthesia
19. Prophylactic Vasodilators
• Healing complications are one of the leading causes
of litigation in Plastic Surgery
• “High Risk” zones benefit from proactive
management with topical vasodilators
• Breast Reduction (nipple ischemia), Abdominoplasty
(skin flap ischemia), Facelift (skin flap ischemia), any
tissue with impaired blood supply.
20. Prophylactic Vasodilators
• Nitro-Dur patch: 0.4 or 0.6 mgm patch
• Patients initial reaction to medication must be
monitored in the recovery room
• Patches are applied at completion of surgery
and may be easily removed if BP
problems develop (unusual)
• Patients may apply patch every 12 hours if
ischemia persists
21. Prophylactic Antibiotics in Elective Plastic
Surgery
• Any surgery greater than 2 hours in length
• Any surgery where circulation to tissue is
compromised as a result of the surgical procedure
– Breast Reduction
– Abdominoplasty
– Facelift
– Selected Reconstructive Procedures
– (any situation where prophylaxis is indicated for medical
reasons)
