10 PRE-OP INTRA-OP POST-OP PERIOPERATIVE MEDICINE

11 Anaesthesia for medical students Pre-operative care drugs, fluids, monitoring care of the unconscious patient post-operative care including analgesia, intravenous fluid management, and management of common complications Practical procedures

12 PRE-OP

13 Aims of Pre-assessment Screen for unknown conditions Assess and optimise known medical problems Assess risk Anticipate complications Reduce risks of anaesthetic and surgery to a minimum

14 Where? By whom? How urgent is the surgery? Anaesthetic clinical assessment – what questions?? History examination investigations consent plan Airway – assessment and plan

15 Mallampati

16 Who does it??

17 Why is it important? Consider: You are clerking a patient evening before THR (on waiting list 6/12) Pt has Fe def anaemia - Hb is 7.8 Pt on diuretics - K is 2.7 Pt on warfarin for AF – INR is 3.1 Pt says they have worsening SOB on exertion for 3/12 – now housebound ECG – heart rate is 135/min

18 ASA status American Society of Anesthesiologists 1. Normal healthy patient 2. Mild to mod. systemic disease. No functional limitation 3. Severe systemic disease with limitation of normal function 4. Severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life 5. Moribund patient unlikely to survive 24 hours with or without operation

20 INTRA-OP

21 “The most important monitor employed by the anaesthetist during anaesthesia is his/her own vigilence.”

23 Not just observation..... A very practical specialty!

24 Anaesthesia = Airway!! (anywhere anytime, no if’s no but’s!)
