Post Operative Nausea & Vomiting
Regurgitation Passive process
Lower Oesophageal Sphincter Oesophageal Smooth muscle-intrinsic sphincter Crural fibers of the Diaphragm –extrinsic sphincter Oblique fibres of the Stomach
Gastric Emptying Gastric Emptying Time Adult- 5 to 6 hours Prolonged –Solid food,Fats Reduced- Liquid food Peadiatric –time-4h Infant-3h New Born-2h
Factors Associated with PONV Patient Factor Surgical Factor Anaesthetic Factor
Patient Factor -PONV Children Women Full Stomach Hiatus Hernia Gastric outlet Obstruction
Surgical Factor-PONV Type of Surgery -Gynaecological -ENT -Squint Surgery -Gastrointestinal Duration of Surgery Antibiotics
Anaesthetic Factor-PNOV Opiods Volatile Agents Postoperative Pain Hypotension – Spinal/Epidural Experience of Anaesthesiologist
Adverse Effect of PONV Patient Distress Aspiration of Stomach content Poor Surgical Outcome ? Intra cranial pressure Intraocular pressure Intra thoracic pressure Intra abdominal pressure Violent peristalsis Neurosursery Opthalmic surgery Head & Neck surgery Abdominal wound Oesophageal Surgery
Mendelsons Syndrome Aspiration Pneumonities Pathophysiological Canges -Atelectasis -Alveolar Oedema -Loss of Surfactant -Pulmonary Oedema
Pathophysiological Changes Intrapulmonry Shunting Hypoxia Hypocapnia Hypercapnia Pulmonary Hypertesion
Symptoms In drawing of intercostal space Wheezing Tachycardia Tachypnia
Prevention Head down Position &Neck turned to one side
Prevention Fasting Empty the Stomach Reduce the volume –Metclopramide Reduce the acidity-Sodium Citrate -H 2 blockers-Ranitidine Central acting -Ondesetron
Acts on Dopamine receptor – Stomach&CTZ Gastric emptying time Lower Oesophageal tone Dose 10mg IV or IM Effect 1-3min Metclopramide
Ranitidine H 2 Receptor antogonist Reduces Acidity Dose 50mg IV-1-2hours
Ondansetron 5 HT 3 Receptor Antagonist Stomach& CNS Dose 4 mg IV min
Prevention Suction of the Pharyngeal content
Prevention-Regurgitation Sellicks Maneuver
Intubation
Rapid-Sequence Induction Tendelenberg Position –Suction Apparatus Pre-Oxygenate 3-5Min Prior curarization Sellicks maneuver Thiopentone IV Succinylcholine IV Quick Intubation Extubation after full recovery
Treatment Pharyngeal Suction Intubation Broncheal lavage Positive Pressure Ventilation Bronchodilators
