Study Notes
Patient Positioning
- Patients are often turned 90-180 degrees away from the anesthesia provider
- Precise attention to ETT placement and securement is critical
- Confirm ETT placement during every repositioning
- Vigilant monitoring is needed
Controlled Hypotension
- MAP is reduced to a predetermined acceptable level
- Aim: decrease bleeding and improve surgical visualization
- For certain patients, not appropriate
- Usually no more than 20% decrease from baseline
- Requires an arterial line (A-Line)
- Chronic hypertension patients may need higher MAP
- Monitor urine output, MAP, cerebral and cardiac perfusion pressures, and ABGs
- Methods include:
- Inhalational agents
- Vasodilating agents:
- Beta blockers (Labetalol, Esmolol)
- Alpha 2 adrenergic agonists (Dexmedetomidine)
- Calcium channel blockers -Ultra-short acting opioids (Remifentanil) -Magnesium sulfate
PONV
- ENT procedures can have a higher PONV incidence
- Middle ear procedures are associated with increased PONV risk
- Pediatric strabismus procedures also associated with increased risk
