Slide 3-

The Goal of Preoperative visit. To educate about anesthesia , perioperative care and pain management to reduce anxiety. To obtain patient's medical history and physical examination . To determine which lab test or further medical consultation are needed . To choose care plan guided by patient's choice and risk factors

Overview The preoperative visit Anaesthetic history Examination Special investigations Medical referral Risk assessment Informing the patient and consent Premedication
Slide 6-

The preoperative visit The preoperative visit of all patients by anesthetist is an essential requirement for the safe and successful conduct of anaesthesia Main aim is to assess the patient's fitness for anaesthesia The Best to be performed by an anaesthetist Preferably the one who is going to administer the anaesthesia .
Slide 7-

The preoperative visit visit allows Best anaesthetic technique Any potential interactions between concurrent diseases Anaesthesia anticipated Provides an explanation Reassurance for the patient
Slide 8-

Coexisting Illness Improve the patients condition prior to surgery Seeking advice from other specialists Optimise treatment Final decision . The preoperative visit
Slide 9-

Three situations where special arrangements are usually made 1-Patients with complex medical or surgical problems patient is often admitted several days before surgery anaesthetist is actively involved in optimising their condition prior to anaesthesia and surgery 2-Surgical emergencies only a few hours separates admission and operation in these patients urgent investigations or treatment
Slide 10-

3-Day-case patients These are patients who are planned Generally ‘fitter’ ASA1 or ASA 2 Assessment in anesthesia clinic
Slide 11-

Anesthetic history And Examination
Slide 12-

Anaesthetic history and examination Anaesthetist should take a full history & Examine each patient
Slide 13-

PREVIOUS ANAESTHETICS AND OPERATIONS Hospitals Enquire about inherited or 'family' diseases sickle-cell disease porphyria , psuedocholinesterase deficiency. Difficulties with previous anaesthetics History of difficult intubation Nausea , vomiting dreams awareness postoperative jaundice Post Dural puncture headache Present & past medical history all the aspects of the patient's medical history relating to the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and its severity
Slide 14-

Patient factors associated with cardiac risk Age Heart failure Ischaemic heart disease (MI / angina) Cerebrovascular disease (CVA / TIA) Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus Renal impairment or dialysis
Slide 15-

Cardiovascular system Specific enquiries must be made about: Angina incidence precipitating factors duration use of anti-anginal medications, e.g. glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) oral or sublingual ) Previous myocardial infarction and subsequent symptoms Symptoms indicating heart failure
Slide 16-

Cardiovascular system myocardial infarction are at a greater risk of perioperative reinfarction Elective surgery postponed until at least 6 months after the event Untreated or poorly controlled hypertension (diastolic consistently > 110 mmHg) may lead to exaggerated cardiovascular responses Both hypertension and hypotension can be precipitated which increase the risk of myocardial ischemia
Slide 17-

Cardiovascular system Heart failure will be worsened by the depressant effects impairing the perfusion of vital organs valvular heart disease * ? prosthetic valves may be on anticoagulants -- need to be stopped or changed prior to surgery * Antibiotic prophylaxis
Slide 18-

Active Cardiac Conditions Unstable coronary syndromes Unstable or severe angina Recent MI Decompensated HF Significant arrhythmias Severe valvar disease
Slide 19-

Minor Cardiac Predictors Advanced age (>70) Abnormal ECG LV hypertrophy LBBB ST-T abnormalities Rhythm other than sinus Uncontrolled systemic hypertension

THEN RS
Slide 23-

Respiratory system Patients with pre-existing lung disease prone to postoperative chest infections if they are obese Hx of COPD undergoing upper abdominal or thoracic lung disease sputum production (volume and color) Dyspnea Bronchial Asthma, including precipitating factor and last attack , previous hospital admission upper respiratory tract infection ( anaesthesia and surgery should be postponed unless it is for a life-threatening condition )
Slide 24-

Other conditions in the medical history GI Indigestion GER reflux Hurt burn may indicate the possibility of a hiatus hernia Rheumatoid disease chronically anemic severely limited movement of their joints makes positioning for surgery and airway maintenance difficult. Tendency for dislocation of atalnto-occiptal joint
Slide 25-

Other conditions in the medical history Diabetes Patients have an increased incidence of ischaemic heart disease renal dysfunction autonomic and peripheral neuropathy intra- and postoperative complications Neuromuscular disorders Care with muscle relaxants Coexisting heart disease restrictive pulmonary disease
Slide 26-

Other conditions in the medical history Chronic renal failure Anaemia Electrolyte abnormalities Altered drug excretion Restricts the choice of anaesthetic agents Jaundice Infectious or obstructive liver disease Altered drug metabolism Altered Coagulation function --Epilepsy well controlled or not , compliance to medication avoid anaesthetic agents potentially epileptogenic (e.g. enflurane) Predict convulsions which induced by withdrawal effects of anesthesia drugs
Slide 27-

DRUG HISTORY AND ALLERGIES Identify all medications Prescribed self-administered Allergies to drugs topical preparations (e.g. iodine) adhesive dressings foodstuffs latex

THE EXAMINATION
Slide 33-

THE EXAMINATION Cardiovascular system dysrhythmias atrial fibrillation heart failure heart murmur valvular heart disease blood pressure is best measured at the end of the examination
Slide 34-

THE EXAMINATION Respiratory system cyanosis pattern of ventilation respiratory rate Dyspnoea Wheeziness signs of collapse consolidation and effusion
Slide 35-

THE EXAMINATION Nervous system Chronic disease of the peripheral and central nervous systems evidence of motor or sensory impairment should be documented Musculoskeletal restriction of movement and deformities reduced muscle mass peripheral neuropathies pulmonary involvement Particular attention to the patient's cervical spine and temporomandibular joints

Airway Evaluation Oropharyngeal visualization Mallampati Score Sitting position, protrude tongue, don’t say “AHH”
Slide 39-

THE EXAMINATION The airway Try and predict difficult ventilation & intubation Assessment is often made in three stages 1. Observation of the patient's anatomy Look for limitation of mouth opening, receding mandible position, number and health of teeth, size of tongue, bear. Examine the front of the neck for soft tissue swellings, deviated larynx or trachea. Check the mobility of the cervical spine in both flexion and extension.
Slide 40-

Why would this man’s airway be difficult to manage?
Slide 41-

THE EXAMINATION 2. Simple bedside tests - Mallampati criteria - Thyromental distance - < 7 cm suggests difficult intubation 3. X-rays - lateral X-ray of the head and neck - reduced distance between the occiput and the spinous process of C 1 (< 5 mm) and an increase in the posterior depth of the mandible (> 2.5 cm)
Slide 42-

Airway Evaluation Jaw Movement Both inter-incisor gap and anterior subluxation <3.5cm inter-incisor gap concerning Inability to sublux lower incisors beyond upper incisors Receding mandible Protruding Maxillary Incisors (buck teeth)

FACTORES INCREASED RISK OF MORTALITY
Slide 54-

INCREASED RISK OF MORTALITY Inadequate preoperative preparation including resuscitation Lack of and inappropriate monitoring during surgery Poor postoperative care, including lack of intensive care beds Inadequate supervision of trainees
Slide 55-

Mortality related to anaesthesia Approx 1:26,000 anaesthetics One third of deaths are preventable Causes in order of frequency inadequate patient preparation inadequate postoperative management wrong choice of anaesthetic technique inadequate crisis management
Slide 56-

ANAESTHETIC ASSOCIATED DEATHS Increasing age: >60 years Sex: male > female Worsening physical status Increasing number of concurrent medical conditions, in particular: myocardial infarction diabetes mellitus
Slide 57-

ANAESTHETIC ASSOCIATED DEATHS renal disease Increasing complexity of surgery: intracranial major vascular intrathoracic Increasing length of surgery Emergency operations

*The addition of “E” denotes Emergency surgery (An emergency is defined as existing when delay in treatment of the patient would lead to a significant increase in the threat to life or body part)
Slide 60-

Informing the patient
Slide 61-

Informing the patient The choice of anaesthetic technique rests with the anaesthetist, but most patients appreciate some details of what to expect

Slide 64-

Consent Anaesthetic consent is an important aspect of operative consent. All patients should have received written information in advance as well as an explanation of side effects: Common side effects, e.g. postoperative nausea and vomiting Rare side effects, e.g. nerve damage after spinal or epidural Anaesthesia 3. Risks specific to that patient – this can relate to a career (e.g. an opera singer and the risk of vocal cord injury) or the risk of perioperative myocardial infarction in a patient with a significant history of cardiac disease. Consent must be obtained before any sedating , premedication is given.
Slide 65-

Consent requires Capacity necessitates: • Ability to understand and retain information about the treatment • Ability to weigh up the information • Ability to make a free choice Enough relevant information
Slide 66-

Informing the patient patients will ask about their immediate recovery Finally reassure patients about postoperative pain control informed of the technique Consent for anaesthesia
Slide 67-

Premedication
Slide 68-

Patients at risk of gastric aspiration even after fasting Gastrointestinal obstruction Hiatus hernia Pregnancy (2nd and 3rd trimester) Severe trauma Use of opioids Acute abdomen (any cause) Raised intraabdominal pressure
Slide 69-

The 6 As of premedication Anxiolysis – the best anxiolytic is the anesthetist who visits the patient and listens to the patient Amnesia Anti-emetic Antacid Anti-autonomic Analgesic
Slide 70-

Anxiolysis benzodiazepines phenothiazines Amnesia lorazepam anterograde amnesia Premedication
Slide 71-

Anti-emetic dopamine antagonists antihistamines anticholinergics phenothiazines 5-hydroxytryptamine antagonists a2- agonists: clonidine, Dex Premedication
Slide 72-

Slide 75-

Postoperative stage At the end of the operation, the patient is either extubated in the operating theatre (and an oropharyngeal airway inserted if needed) or transferred to the recovery room with an LMA still in situ. All patients receive supplemental oxygen during transfer. Many patients who do not have a general anesthetia/sedation bypass the recovery room and go straight from the operating theatre to the surgical daycare unit Examples include local anesthetia cases (e.g. minor surface surgery, cataract removal, some regional anesthetia cases).
Slide 76-

Once in the recovery room, Handover occurs between the anesthetist and a recovery nurse. Important information passed on includes: • Patients name and age; • Operation details; • Bood loss; • Anaesthetic technique with emphasis on: • analgesia given; • regional/nerve blocks; • antiemetics given; • antibiotics; • the use of local anaesthetic infiltration; • thromboprophylaxis.
