Perioperative Care

Introduction

• Are there absolute contraindications to surgery
  related to cardiac pulmonary or renal disease
• What is the optimal method of perioperative deep
  venous thrombosis prophylaxis
• What constitutes optimal perioperative management
  of the gastrointestinal tract
• What constitutes the optimal incision or approach
  for a gynecologic cancer procedure

3
Cardiac Risk

• High-risk surgical procedure ( intraperitoneal)
• Hisotry of ischemic heart disease (excluding
  coronary revascularization)
• History of heart failure
• History of stroke or transient ischemic attack
• Preoperative insulin therapy
• Creatinine levels gt 2 mg/dl

Benefit of perioperative B-blocker
therapy

• Randomized in high-risk surgical patients
  (abdominal aortic aneurysm repair)
• Bisoprolol versus placebo
• Cardiac mortality ( 17 versus 3.4 p0.002)
• Myocardial infarction (17.4 versus 0 plt0.001)

Pulmonary risk

• Postoperative pulmonary complications (POPC)
  after abdomnal surgery more frequently (10-30)
  than cardiac complications.
• Postanesthetic changes in vital capacity
  functional residual capacity ventilation-perfusio
  n abnormality diaphragmatic dysfuction
  decreased number activity of alveolar
  macrophages inhibiting mucocilicary clearance
  increased alveolar-capillary permeability.

8
Pulmonary risk

• Postoperative respiratory failure perioperative
  pneumonia COPD asthma atelectasis and pleural
  effusion.
• Formal spirometry may predict risks lacks
  sensitivity and specificity.
• Lack of preoperative predictability in creating
  an effective plan for prevention of pulmonary
  morbidity.

Smoking

• Effect of short-term smoking cessation has not
  been effective in preventing perioperative
  morbidity.
• Perioperative morbidity stop
  smoking lt 8 versus gt 8weeks (33 versus 14)

12
Pulmonary risk

• Absence of risk assessment stragegy and inability
  to modify pulmonary risk factors for morbidity.
• Early involvement of a pulmonary consultant may
  be the best strategy.
• In most situations patient benefits from an
  intensive postoperative pulmonary program.

13
Renal disease risk

• Renal failurerise in serum creatinine over
  baseline by 0.5 mg/dL a reduction of calculated
  creatininte clearance of 50 or the need for
  dialysis.
• Postoperative renal failure is associated with a
  dramatic increase in mortality (45)
  particularly in presence of hypotension sepsis
  and exposure to nephrotoxic drugs.

14
Gynecology cancer Renal disease risk

• Radical surgery risk for prerenal intrinsic
  renal or postrenal dysfunction.
• Dehydration sepsis blood loss 3rd-space of
  fluid and exposure to nephrotoxic agents
  (intravenous radiocontrast media specific
  antibiotic cisplatin NSAID ACE inhibitors.

15
Current popular strategies for renal protection

• Aggressive hydration by pulmonary artery
  catheters.
• Renal-dose dopamine
• Induction of mannitol or furosemide diuressis
• Unfortunately none of these strageies has prove
  effective.

Sadovnikoff N. Int Anesthesiol Clin
20013995-109.
16
No renal protective strategy exists

• Careful preoperative analysis of patients
  medication
• Perioperateive supportive care
• Minimizing exposure to nephrotoxic agent
• Postoperative surveillance to detect and treat
  postoperative renal insufficiency.
• Anxiously await new renal protective drugs and
  new strategies.

17
What is the optimal method of perioperative deep
venous thrombosis prophylaxis

• DVT1.5-38 after routine gynecologic surgery.
• Prophylaxis reduce risk by 75 .
• Cancer patients high risk for DVT.
• Developing clinical DVT may extend for weeks.
• Delayed DVT a poor cancer prognosis.

Deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis

• Elastic stock not represent sufficient
  prophylaxis for the higher risk patients.
  (history of DVT older than 60 years gynecologic
  cancer).
• 332 patients 6-10 in hospital days of LMWH.
• Randomized to placebo or LMWH for an additional
  21 days.
• DVT rate placebo versus study group( 12 versus
  4.8 p0.02)

Bergqvist D et al. N Engl J Med 2002346975-980.
21
Treatment of venous thromboembolic disease

• Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH clexaneSC
  30mg q12h).
• Heparine (initial IV bolus 5000-10000 units then
  IV infusion 20000-40000 or initial SC 10000-20000
  units then 10000units q8h)
• Placement of an inferior vena cava filter.

22
Heparin

• Heparin temporary discontinuation of therpay 6
  hours before surgery and resumption 6-12 hours
  after surgery.
• LMWH lower reported incidence of bleeding
  complications.

23
Highest risk for intraoperative bleeding

• IVC filter placement
• Delay surgery for up to 1 month after the
  diagnosis of VTE.
• If delay is not feasible LMWH for several days
  after the diagnosis of VTE

24
Prevent recurrence of VTE

• Warfarin ( coumadin) International normalized
  ration of 2-3 planned more than 6 months
  treatment.
• 50 risk reduction for recurrent VTE in cancer
  paitents.

Preoperative sigmodioscopy

• Correct prediction to avoid resection (21/25
  84)
• Correct prediction to resection (5/9)
• Although no strict guidelines pelvic surgeon
  should offer preoperative colon or intestinal
  evaluation in clinical situations in which
  abnormalities are likely to be present.

Preoperative preparation

• NO single drug or regimen has documented
  superiority a short course of a broad-spectrum
  antibiotic ( single dose if the surgery is not
  twice as long as the drug half-life) is
  appropriate.
• 99 colorectal surgeons use mechanical bowel
  preparation before intestinal resection.

35
Preoperative mechanical preparation

• Failed to demonstrate a lessened risk of wound or
  abdominal infection.
• The incidence of anastomotic breakdown was not
  lowered.
• Colonic anastomoses can be safely performed in
  women even in the absence of a mechanical
  preparation.

36
Postoperative GI care

• Normal function returns in the stomach and
  intestine at 8 hours right colon at 48 hours
  sigmoid colon at 72 hours after an abdominal
  procedure.
• Little adverse effect on return of bowel function
  related to duration of surgery intestinal
  manipulation narcotics retroperitoneal
  dissection.

Nasogastric suction

• Surgical dogma to use NG suction.
• A 1999 survery suggested gynecologic oncologist
  commonly incorporate NG suction after
  cytoreduction (57) LN dissection (34) radical
  hysterectomy (29) and routine hyestereocmty
  (15).
• Always used NG suction after colon resection(
  90) and small bowel resection (97).
• Rationale for use was to decrease distension
  (67) avoid an ananstomic leak (39) and lessen
  nausea (36).

• In extreme risk of a prolonged postoperative
  ileus ( extensive dissection after irradiation).
  Intraoperative gastrostomy tube placement should
  be considered as a comfortable alternative.

41
Early oral feeding

• Well tolearted
• Shorter hospital stays
• No increase the risk of ileus or other
  complication.

• Routine NG drainage does not lessen risks.
• Infectious complications are controlled by
  broad-spectrum antibiotics.
• Intra-abdominal abscesses are usually (85)
  manage successfully with percutaneous drainage.

44
Postoperative obstruction

• After excluding the possibility of strangulation
  adhesive postoperative obstruction is typically
  successfully managed conservatively with
  resolution frequently occurring with 48 hours.
• Early use of contrast enhanced radiology should
  be considered to those without resolution in 48
  hours .
