Postoperative complications
postoperative bleeding
reason
Incomplete hemostasis during the operation, incomplete bleeding from the wound, diastole of the original spasmed arteriole, loss of ligature, and coagulation dysfunction
Performance
abdominal surgery
Definite diagnosis: Ultrasound and abdominal puncture
Shock occurs within 24 hours
Tachycardia, decreased blood pressure, decreased urine output, peripheral vasoconstriction
If bleeding continues, abdominal circumference may increase
Thoracic surgery
The amount of blood flowing out of the chest drainage tube continues to exceed 100ml per hour
Chest X-ray
Central venous pressure is less than 0.49kPa
Urine output less than 25ml per hour
Even after transfusion of enough blood and fluids, the shock signs and test indicators did not improve.
Differential diagnosis of postoperative circulatory failure
Pulmonary embolism, arrhythmia, pneumothorax, myocardial infarction, severe allergic reaction
treat
Quickly stop bleeding during surgery, remove blood clots, and flush the abdominal cavity with saline
Postoperative fever or hypothermia
fever
non-infectious fever
main reason
Long operation time (>2 hours)
extensive tissue damage
intraoperative blood transfusion
Drug allergy
Anesthetic-induced hepatotoxicity
deal with
If the body temperature does not exceed 38℃, no treatment will be given.
If the temperature is higher than 38.5℃ and the patient is unwell, physical cooling and symptomatic treatment can be provided.
infectious fever
risk factors
Proposed antibiotic prophylaxis ignored
The patient is weak
old age
poor nutritional status
diabetes, smoking, obesity
Use of immunosuppressive drugs or pre-existing infection
other
Insufficient hemostasis, residual dead space, and tissue trauma during surgery
Hypoinflation, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, purulent or non-purulent phlebitis
hypothermia
mild hypothermia
Anesthetics block the body's regulatory processes
Heat loss during laparotomy and thoracotomy surgery
Infuse cold fluids or bank blood
Complications of significant hypothermia
Significant increase in peripheral vascular resistance
weakened heart contractility
Decreased cardiac output
Nervous system is depressed
Coagulopathy
Coagulation system enzyme abnormalities
profound hypothermia
More traumatic surgeries
Give large amounts of cold fluids or bank blood
prevention
Check body temperature during surgery
When infusing large amounts of cold liquid or stored blood, use a warming device
If necessary, repeatedly irrigate the body cavity with warm saline
Keep warm after surgery
respiratory complications
Underexpansion of the lungs
Common among the elderly, obese, long-term smokers, and people with respiratory diseases
Usually occurs 48 hours after surgery
If the operation exceeds 72 hours, pneumonia is inevitable
prevention and treatment
Tap on the chest and back to encourage coughing and deep breathing, and to aspirate secretions through the nose and trachea. For patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, aerosolized bronchodilators and mucolytic drugs are effective. When there is airway obstruction, bronchoscopy should be performed.
postoperative pneumonia
Predisposing factors
Underexpansion of the lungs
Aspiration of foreign bodies and large secretions
People with abdominal infection who require long-term assisted breathing
pulmonary embolism
Predisposing factors
Age (over 50 years old)
deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs
Trauma, soft tissue injury, burns
Cardiopulmonary disease, obesity
Certain blood diseases and metabolic diseases (diabetes)
clinical manifestations
Sudden dyspnea
Chest pain, hemoptysis, syncope
Unexplained acute right heart failure or shock, decreased blood oxygen saturation
Pulmonary valve area systolic murmur, P2 hyperactivity
treat
General treatment: intensive care, absolute bed rest, appropriate use of sedation and analgesic drugs to relieve the patient's anxiety and panic
Respiratory support: oxygen inhalation, endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation
Loop support
Thrombolytic and anticoagulant therapy
postoperative infection
Abdominal abscess and peritonitis
Performance
Fever, abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness, and increased white blood cells
treat
After the abdominal abscess is located, puncture and catheter drainage can be performed under ultrasound guidance. If necessary, open drainage is required.
Antibiotic treatment is selected based on the drug susceptibility results of bacterial culture.
fungal infection
It is mostly caused by Candida and often occurs in patients who have long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
treat
Amphotericin B
fluconazole
Incision complications
Hematomas, accumulation of blood, and clots
Neck hematoma caused by thyroid, parathyroid or carotid artery surgery needs to be treated as soon as possible (because hematoma can expand rapidly and compress the airway)
reason
Disadvantages of hemostatic techniques
Contributing factors
Take aspirin, low-dose heparin
Severe coughing and elevated blood pressure after surgery
Pre-existing coagulation disorder
Performance
Discomfort, swelling, raised edges, and discoloration at the incision site
Blood sometimes leaks through stitches in the skin
treat
Evacuate the blood clot under sterile conditions, ligate bleeding vessels, and re-sew the wound
seroma
The accumulation of fluid in the wound, rather than blood or abscess, is associated with more lymphatic vessels being severed by surgery
Subcutaneous seroma can be aspirated with an empty needle and compressed with a dressing to prevent the leakage and recurrence of lymph fluid.
Hematomas in the groin area mostly occur after vascular surgery. Empty needle aspiration may damage blood vessels and increase the risk of infection, but it can be allowed to absorb on its own.
Wounds open
main reason
Malnutrition, poor tissue healing ability
Incision suturing technique is defective
A sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure, such as severe coughing or severe abdominal distension
Performance
Partial dehiscence: except for skin sutures that are intact and not dehisced, all deep tissue dehiscences
Complete dehiscence: the incision is fully dehisced, with bowel or omentum prolapsed
prevention
① On the basis of suturing the abdominal wall incision layer by layer, add full-thickness abdominal wall tension-reducing sutures; ② The incision should be sutured under good anesthesia and abdominal wall relaxation to avoid forced sutures that may cause tearing of the peritoneum and other tissues; ③ Treat abdominal distension in a timely manner; ④ When the patient coughs, it is best to lie down on his back to reduce the sudden sharp drop of the diaphragm and the sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure during coughing; ⑤ Appropriate abdominal pressure bandaging also has a certain preventive effect.
treat
If the incision is not completely dehiscent: immediately cover the incision with a sterile dressing, suture it under good anesthesia conditions, and add tension-reducing sutures.
Complete dehiscence of the incision: intestinal paralysis often occurs after re-suturing, and gastrointestinal decompression should be placed after surgery. The treatment of partial splitting of the incision depends on the specific situation.
Incision infection
Manifestations: local redness, swelling, heat, pain and tenderness of the wound, with discharge, with or without fever and an increase in white blood cells
Treatment principle: Remove the sutures from the red and swollen area to allow the pus to drain out, and perform bacterial culture at the same time.
Urinary system complications
urinary retention
Common causes: Suppressed urinary reflex in elderly patients, pelvic surgery, perineal surgery or subarachnoid space anesthesia, incision pain causing bladder distention and posterior urethral sphincter reflex spasm, and patients not used to urinating in bed, etc.
Prevention: If you have not urinated 6-8 hours after surgery, or if you urinate, the urine volume is very small and frequent, you should perform a percussion examination in the suprapubic area of the lower abdomen. If an obvious dullness area is found, it indicates urinary retention.
treat:. If the urinary retention time has passed and the urine volume exceeds 500m1 during catheterization, the urinary catheter should be left in place for 1-2 days, which is conducive to the recovery of the contractility of the bladder wall's urinary muscle. If there are organic diseases, such as presacral nerve injury, prostatic hypertrophy, etc., a urinary catheter needs to be left in for 4-5 days.
urinary tract infection
main reason
Pre-existing contamination of the urinary tract, urinary retention and various urinary tract procedures
About 5% of patients with bladder intubation for a short period of time (<48 hours) develop bacteriuria, but only 1% have clinical symptoms.
Symptoms of acute cystitis: frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, difficulty urinating, and mild fever;
Symptoms of acute pyelonephritis: high fever, waist pain and tenderness. Urine examination showed a large number of white blood cells and pus cells, and bacterial culture confirmed the diagnosis.
prevention
Strictly require aseptic operation to prevent urinary system contamination, prevent and quickly treat urinary retention
treat
Give adequate fluids, complete bladder drainage, and targeted antibiotics
