POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT OF ORTHOPEDIC PATIENTS THE SURGEONS PERSPECTIVE ED SZALAPSKI JR., M.D. TWIN CITIES ORTHOEDICS
PHYSIOLOGIC RESPONSE TO TRAUMA VASODILATION INCREASED MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY THIRD SPACING FLUID RETENTION
RESULT PATIENTS REQUIRE VOLUME SUPPORT LOW BP LOW URINE OUTPUT ORGAN DAMAGE RENAL FAILURE
MODIFIERS GENERAL HEALTH MEDICATIONS LOCATION OF SURGERY MAGNITUDE OF DISSECTION OUR INTERVENTIONS
RECOVERY AS PATIENTS RECOVER, THEY MOBILIZE/REABSORB FLUIDS INCREASED URINE OUTPUT OCCASIONAL FLUID OVERLOAD
PRIMARY HIP REPLACEMENT CMS CHECKS BLOOD LOSS URINE OUTPUT/RENAL FUNCTION BLOOD PRESSURE (HTN MEDS!) DISLOCATIONS
PRIMARY KNEE REPLACEMENT PAIN MANAGEMENT!!!!! BLOOD LOSS (250 TO 1250 ml) URINE OUTPUT/RENAL FUNCTION MOTION VITAL SIGNS (HTN MEDS)
PATELLA FRACTURE MINIMAL DISSECTION MINIMAL BLOOD LOSS STRAIGHTFORWARD PAIN MANAGEMENT MINIMAL THIRD SPACING NON-WEIGHT BEARING PATIENT STRENGTH & MOBILITY FACTORS
TIB FIB FRACTURE BLOOD LOSS IS USUALLY MILD THIRD SPACING IS USUALLY MILD PAIN MANAGEMENT COMPARTMENT SYNDROME!!!!
COMPARTMENT SYNDROME PRESSURE WITHIN THE FASCIAL COMPARTMENT RISES ABOVE PRESSURE WITHIN THE SMALL VESSELS ISCHEMIA RAPID ONSET OF PERMANENT DAMAGE TO MUSCLE AND NERVES
COMPARTMENT SYNDROME PAIN, PAIN, PAIN LOSS OF ACTIVE MOTION PAIN WITH PASSIVE MOTION LOSS OF PULSE IS TOO LATE LOSS OF PERFUSION IS TOO LATE BEDSIDE PRESSURE MEASUREMENT SURGICAL EMERGENCY
INTERTROCHANTERIC HIP FRACTURE BLOOD LOSS DEPENDS ON DISPLACEMENT AND COMMINUTION BLOOD LOSS IS HIDDEN IN THIGH MUSCLES, NOT IN THE DRAIN, IF ANY WATCH THE URINE OUTPUT WATCH THE VITALS
PERIPROSTHETIC FRACTURE MODERATE BLEEDING AND THIRD SPACING LOW CMS RISK NON WEIGHT BEARING MOTION MODERATE PAIN
PERIPROSTHETIC FRACTURE EXTENSIVE DISSECTION MAJOR BLOOD LOSS AND THIRD SPACING GREAT DEAL OF DRAINAGE WATCH URINE OUTPUT THIRD SPACING
SEPTIC TOTAL KNEE 84 YO MALE DIABETIC HTN VENOUS STASIS SEVERAL WEEKS OF DENIAL
REIMPLANTATION QUADRICEPS TURNDOWN—RESTRICTED MOTION AND WEIGHT BEARING THREE UNITS OF BLOOD MILD ACUTE RENAL FAILURE MILD CHF SEVERAL DAYS LATER
SEPTIC TOTAL HIP 60 YO MALE PRIOR IM NAIL 300+ POUNDS MRSA INFECTION VANCOMYCIN ALLERGY THREE DEBRIDEMENTS TO ERADICATE INFECTION
HIP REIMPLANTATION 8 UNITS PRBC 10 LITERS OF FLUID PRESSORS FOR 12 HOURS MILD RISE IN Creatinine—resolved FULL WEIGHT BEARING
