Study Notes
Visual Field Defects
- Left homonymous hemianopsia results in visual defect: lateral half of the left eye and medial half of the right eye.
Ear Disease Symptoms
- Physical therapists focus on vertigo as a key symptom related to ear diseases.
Thrombosis Prevention
- Patients should ambulate within 1-2 weeks post-surgery to reduce the risk of thrombosis.
Internal Hemorrhage Signs
- Signs include a feeble pulse, decreased blood pressure, increased respiration, and cold clammy skin.
Surgical Suffixes
- "Ectomy" indicates removal of an organ.
- "Ostomy" denotes the creation of an artificial opening.
Mediastinum Composition
- The mediastinum includes all structures between the lungs and outside the pleural cavity.
Neurological Signs
- Loss of knee jerk indicates compression of the L4 nerve root.
- Positive Homan's sign is indicative of a deep thrombus in the leg.
Common Postoperative Complications
- Vertigo is a common complication following surgeries involving the semicircular canals.
Surgical Procedures
- A colectomy involves the excision of the entire colon.
- Myomectomy is for the removal of benign growths from the uterus.
- Oophorectomy is the surgical removal of the ovaries.
- Cystectomy refers to the removal of the urinary bladder.
Congenital Heart Conditions
- Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common congenital heart defect associated with cyanosis.
Embolism Risk
- Deep venous thrombosis is a common source of emboli, while embolism is less likely from phlebothrombosis.
Tissue Transplants
- An autograft is a tissue transplanted from one site to another in the same patient.
Conditions Related to Nerve Tumors
- Neurilemmoma represents a benign tumor from peripheral nerves.
- Neurofibroma is a nonencapsulated benign tumor.
- Von Recklinghausen's syndrome is hereditary and associated with neurofibromas.
Symptoms of Conditions
- Dysarthria is a symptom of cerebellar disease, indicating motor control issues in speech.
Surgical Incisions
- A left oblique incision is typically used for splenectomy.
- Transverse incisions are common for abdominal surgeries, while paramedian incisions are standard for gynecological procedures.
Spinal Cord Conditions
- Malignant tumors can cause rapid onset of spinal cord compression symptoms, while neoplasms generally lead to gradual symptoms.
Joint Surgery
- A curve or zigzag incision is typically employed for incisions across the flexor surface of joints.
General Health Risks
- Pulmonary embolism is a significant concern arising from deep venous thrombosis.
