Study Notes
Inhalation Anesthetic Agents
- Halothane: Administered via inhalation using a special vaporizer, not explosive or flammable.
- Advantages: Rapid induction, smooth transition, suitable for various surgeries, and low rates of postoperative nausea/vomiting.
- Disadvantages: Requires skilled administration to avoid overdose, potential for liver damage, may cause hypotension, and necessitates special equipment.
- Considerations: Monitor for respiratory depression; co-administration with epinephrine may lead to ventricular fibrillation.
Herbs or Supplements and Possible Surgical Risks
- Ephedra: Commonly used but carries surgical risk due to potential for increased blood pressure and heart rate, impacting anesthesia safety.
Nutrients Important for Wound Healing
- Protein: Essential for collagen deposition and healing; deficiency results in delayed healing and increased infection risk.
- Arginine: Supports wound strength and collagen deposition; deficiency leads to impaired healing.
- Carbohydrates and Fats: Stimulate T-cell response; deficiency may result in protein utilization for energy, causing weight loss.
- Water: Critical for energy and healing; dehydration signs include poor skin turgor and oliguria.
- Vitamin C: Supports collagen formation, required post-injury; deficiency affects healing and increases capillary fragility.
- Vitamin B Complex: Compensates for fluid loss; deficiency raises infection risk due to decreased antibodies.
- Vitamin A: Maintains homeostasis; deficiency impairs energy metabolism.
- Vitamin K: Crucial for tissue synthesis and capillary formation; deficiency delays healing and impairs immunity.
- Magnesium: Vital for antibody formation; low levels increase infection risk.
- Copper: Influences host resistance; deficiency prolongs prothrombin time.
- Zinc: Enhances inflammatory response; deficiency may lead to hematomas and infection risk.
- DNA: Essential for blood clotting; deficiency affects collagen production and immune response.
Select Osteoporosis Medications
- Bisphosphonates: Inhibit osteoclast activity, enhancing bone density; important for nursing considerations in monitoring side effects and administration methods.
