MindMap Gallery Preparation before anesthesia and medication before anesthesia (2) Physical and mental preparation of the patient
Before anesthesia, various preparations must be made based on the patient's condition, anesthesia, and surgical methods. The overall purpose is to put the patient in the best possible physical and mental state to enhance the patient's tolerance for anesthesia and surgery. , improve patient safety during anesthesia, avoid anesthesia accidents, and reduce complications after anesthesia. The tasks of pre-anesthesia preparation include ① preparing the patient physically and mentally ② giving the patient appropriate pre-anesthetic medication ③ preparing anesthesia appliances, equipment, monitoring instruments and drugs.

Preparation before anesthesia and medication before anesthesia (2) Physical and mental preparation of the patient
Physical preparation
Improve the patient's general condition
Correct physiological dysfunction and treat combined medical diseases, so that the patient's various organ functions are in a better state and the patient's tolerance to anesthesia and surgery is enhanced.
The specific contents are as follows: improve the patient's nutritional status; correct severe anemia, water and electrolyte acid-base disorders and hypoalbuminemia; stop smoking; increase physical strength; practice deep breathing, improve cardiopulmonary reserve function, etc.
Differences of opinion may arise during the preparation for anesthesia, and consensus should be reached through consultation based on the principle of “what is best for the patient.”
Actively treat medical diseases
Cardiovascular System
The key is to improve heart function
If the patient is taking maintenance treatment with digitalis before surgery, the drug should be stopped on the day of surgery. However, if the patient has atrial fibrillation and a fast ventricular rate, digitalis can continue to be administered until the morning of the surgery.
People who take beta-blockers for a long time to treat angina pectoris and arrhythmia should generally continue taking the medication until the day of surgery.
patients with essential hypertension
Patients with severe hypertension (systolic blood pressure >200mmHg, diastolic blood pressure >115mHg) are recommended to postpone elective surgery until their blood pressure drops below 180/110mmHlg.
If there is severe end-organ damage, blood pressure should be lowered to normal as much as possible before surgery
Lowering blood pressure too quickly or too low can increase ischemia in the brain and coronary arteries. Therefore, the pros and cons of delaying surgery should be weighed. If surgery cannot be postponed, the goal is not to lower blood pressure too quickly in patients with chronic hypertension. When selecting antihypertensive agents, avoid centrally acting antihypertensive agents or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors to avoid refractory hypotension and bradycardia during anesthesia. Other antihypertensive drugs such as B-blockers, calcium antagonists, and nitrates should be continued until the day of surgery to avoid severe blood pressure fluctuations due to drug withdrawal.
respiratory system
For those who have acute respiratory infection before surgery, unless it is an emergency, the surgery should be suspended and the infection should be fully controlled for one week before surgery, otherwise the postoperative respiratory complications will be significantly increased.
Patients with coexisting chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, etc. ① Pulmonary function, arterial blood gas analysis and X-ray chest X-ray should be checked before surgery; ② Stop smoking for at least 2 weeks and perform respiratory function training; ③ Perform aerosol inhalation and chest physical therapy to promote phlegm excretion; ④ Use bronchodilators and adrenocortical hormones before surgery; ⑤Effective antibiotic treatment for ~5 days to control acute and chronic pulmonary infections, and improve the patient's respiratory reserve function through complete preoperative preparation
Central Nervous System
Preparatory work before anesthesia must be done based on the original disease, condition and degree of change.
after acute cerebral infarction
Elective surgery should be delayed for 4 to 6 weeks
Parkinson's disease patients
Pulmonary function tests and blood gas analysis are required before surgery, and the patient is instructed to exercise respiratory function. Anti-Parkinson’s drugs need to be taken until surgery
Endocrine System
Hyperthyroidism patients
The key to preparation before anesthesia is to control the condition before surgery, effectively reduce the basal metabolic rate, and prevent the occurrence of thyroid storm during and after surgery.
Patients with primary aldosteronism and hypercortisolism
Before anesthesia, attention should be paid to correcting water, electrolyte and acid-base balance disorders, with special attention to potassium supplementation.
Pheochromocytoma patients
Hypertension caused by excessive secretion of catecholamines should be controlled as much as possible before surgery. While alpha-blockers are used to dilate blood vessels, fluid therapy should be actively performed to expand blood volume. Insufficient blood volume and electrolyte imbalance (especially hypokalemia) should be corrected. ) after surgery
diabetic patient
For elective surgery, fasting blood glucose should be controlled below 8.3mmol/L (150mg/dl), preferably within the range of 6.1~7.2mmol/L (110~130mg/dl), and the highest should not exceed 11.1mmol/L (200mg/dl) ), urine glucose (+/-), and urine ketone bodies were negative. For emergency patients with ketoacidosis, surgery should be considered after intravenous infusion of insulin to eliminate ketone bodies and correct acidosis. Although patients who require immediate surgery can supplement insulin, infuse fluids and correct acidosis during the surgery, the risk of anesthesia is significantly increased. Those who take oral short-acting hypoglycemic drugs or use regular insulin should stop taking them on the morning of the surgery. If you take long-acting hypoglycemic drugs, you should stop taking them 2 to 3 days before surgery. Switch to regular insulin
liver function
Patients with mild hepatic insufficiency have little impact on their ability to tolerate anesthesia and surgery; In moderate hepatic insufficiency or on the verge of decompensation, tolerance to anesthesia and surgery is significantly reduced. It requires a long period of preparation before surgery, active liver protection treatment, and maximum improvement of liver function and systemic condition before elective surgery; Severe hepatic insufficiency, such as advanced cirrhosis, often coexists with signs such as severe malnutrition, weight loss, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, large amounts of ascites, coagulation dysfunction, systemic bleeding, or early stage of hepatic encephalopathy, so the risk of surgical anesthesia is extremely high.
Except for emergency rescue surgery, patients with acute hepatitis are generally contraindicated in surgery.
kidney function
Urinalysis (blood, sugar, protein), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine value, endogenous creatinine clearance, urine concentration test and phenol red test are clinically valuable functional tests.
With the application of preoperative blood analysis, renal failure is no longer a contraindication for elective surgery.
Preoperative preparation should maximize renal function, and if dialysis is required, it should be performed within 24 hours of the planned surgery.
blood system
For abnormal blood routine and coagulation caused by various reasons before surgery, the reasons should be clarified and given before anesthesia. Treat the cause accordingly and prepare blood component products. Generally, adult surgery requires Hb>80g/L, PLT>50×/10 9/L
other
Patients planning to undergo neuraxial anesthesia should have routine checks on spine and spinal cord function
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome need to undergo pulmonary function testing and arterial blood gas analysis before surgery, and pay attention to the increase in PaC02 in the resting period (postoperative pulmonary complications are significantly increased);
For patients with acute alcohol poisoning caused by accidental heavy drinking, if emergency surgery is required, the specificity will not be increased, but the requirement for anesthetics may be significantly reduced, so medication should be used rationally as appropriate to avoid overdose.
Preparation of previous treatments
Due to co-existing medical diseases, surgical patients may take various therapeutic drugs before surgery, such as antihypertensive drugs, antiarrhythmic drugs, cardiotonic drugs, endocrine drugs, etc. It is generally not recommended to stop medication before surgery.
Treatments that need to be discontinued before surgery are certain anticoagulants and antidepressants
Strictly implement fasting and drinking before anesthesia
Routinely empty the stomach before elective surgery, and strictly implement the requirements of fasting and drinking before anesthesia to avoid reflux, vomiting or aspiration of gastric contents during anesthesia and surgery, as well as the resulting asphyxia and aspiration pneumonia.
It is currently recommended that adults abstain from easily digestible solid foods and foods containing less fat for at least 6 hours before anesthesia. And fasting from meat, fried products and other high-fat foods for at least 8 hours. If you consume too much of the above foods, you should extend your fasting time appropriately. Newborns and infants should not eat breast milk for at least 4 hours, and fast digestible solid food, milk, formula and other non-human milk for at least 6 hours. Patients of all ages can drink clear liquids 2 hours before surgery, including drinking water, sugar water, juice (without pulp), soda drinks, tea, etc. However, for special patients, such as those with active esophageal reflux and those undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, stricter restrictions are necessary.
Treating a full stomach
Severe trauma patients, patients with acute abdomen, and postpartum women should be treated as "full stomach" patients if they have insufficient fasting time or if it has been more than 8 hours since the last meal due to delayed gastric emptying.
When choosing general anesthesia, the method of "awake endotracheal intubation" can generally be considered to actively control the respiratory tract, which will help avoid or reduce the occurrence of vomiting and aspiration. If rapid induction of endotracheal intubation is considered, proper cooperation of the assistant is required to press the cricoid cartilage toward the esophagus. In addition: placing an indwelling gastric tube before anesthesia to appropriately reduce gastric contents, applying antiemetics and antacids before surgery, preparing transparent masks and suction devices, and adjusting body positions are all preparation measures that can effectively reduce aspiration in patients with a full stomach.
mental preparation
Severe emotional fluctuations will inevitably cause disturbances in the patient's internal environment, which can seriously affect the patient's tolerance to anesthesia and surgery.
