Surgery, pre- and postoperative periods lecture for students of the Faculty of Dentistry. Section of the presentation on the topic of surgery Complications of the postoperative period from the respiratory system


Surgical operation By urgency Emergency Urgent Planned Open Closed Repeated Microsurgical Endoscopic Endovascular One-stage (Single-stage) Multi-stage Simultaneous Trial Explorative Typical Atypical Stages of the operation Surgical access Main stage of the operation (surgical technique) Wound suturing (primary and secondary sutures) BY VOLUME and RESULT U Radical Palliative


By urgency: Emergency - operations performed immediately or within the next few hours from the moment the patient is admitted to the surgical department. (The goal is to save the patient’s life) Urgent – ​​operations performed within the next few days after admission. Planned – operations performed as planned (their execution time is unlimited)


There are radical operations (in which, by removing a pathological formation, part or entire organ, the return of the disease is excluded) and palliative operations (performed to eliminate an immediate danger to the patient’s life or alleviate his condition). Diagnostic operations - to clarify the diagnosis, biopsy; trial; endoscopic; endovascular; microsurgical. Typical and atypical operations.




Preoperative period - - The time from the patient’s admission to the hospital to the start of the operation. Its duration varies and depends on the nature of the disease, the severity of the patient’s condition, and the urgency of the operation. The timing of the operation is determined by indications, which can be vital, absolute and relative.


Vital indications for surgery arise in diseases in which the slightest delay in surgery threatens the patient’s life. - ongoing bleeding due to rupture of an internal organ (liver, spleen, rupture of the fallopian tube during the development of pregnancy in it) - acute diseases of the abdominal organs of an inflammatory nature (appendicitis, strangulated hernia, acute intestinal obstruction - these diseases are fraught with the development of purulent peritonitis). - purulent-inflammatory diseases (abscess, phlegmon - delaying surgery can lead to the development of sepsis).


Absolute indications for surgery arise in diseases in which a long delay or failure to perform the operation can lead to a life-threatening condition for the patient. - malignant neoplasms, pyloric stenosis, obstructive jaundice, chronic lung abscess. A long delay can lead to tumor metastases, general exhaustion, and liver failure. Operations for absolute indications are performed urgently, several days or weeks after the patient’s admission to the surgical department.


Relative indications for surgery may be for diseases that do not pose a threat to the patient’s life - hernias (not strangulated), varicose veins of the lower extremities. These operations are performed as planned. The underlying disease, which requires planned surgical intervention, should be studied at the outpatient stage of treatment (tests, instrumental studies and specialist consultations). In the preoperative period, the doctor needs to examine the condition of the patient’s vital organ systems and assess the surgical risk.


Preoperative preparation should be short-term and quickly effective - in patients with hypovolemia, water-electrolyte imbalance, infusion therapy is started (polyglucin, albumin, protein are transfused) - in case of acute blood loss - blood, plasma, albumin transfusion - when a patient is admitted in a state of shock - anti-shock therapy , aimed at eliminating the shockogenic factor (elimination of pain - traumatic shock, stopping bleeding - hemorrhagic shock, detoxification therapy - toxic shock), restoration of blood volume and vascular tone. Immediate preparation before surgery: cleanse. enema, fasting for 8 hours, removing stomatol. Prostheses, preparation of the surgical field (shaving). Premedication - minutes before surgery (sedative, antibiotic...) A nasogastric tube and urinary catheter are usually installed during the operation.


Main tasks 1. Establish a diagnosis. 2. Determine the indications for the operation, its possible nature and degree of risk. 3. Prepare the patient for surgery. Indications for surgery 1. Vital (Vital) 2. Absolute 3. Relative 1. Selection of surgical treatment method 2. Premedication 3. Postoperative management plan 4. Possible complications and their prevention Additional studies 1. Medical history 2. Laboratory studies (cytological and histological study) 3. Functional 4. X-ray 5. Endoscopic 6. Radioisotope 7. Ultrasound 8. CT 9. MRI (NMR) Preoperative period


The postoperative period is the period of time from the end of the operation until the patient recovers or is transferred to disability. The early postoperative period is the time from the completion of surgery to the patient’s discharge from the hospital. The late postoperative period is the time from the moment the patient is discharged from the hospital until his recovery or transfer to disability.


Surgical operations and anesthesia lead to certain pathophysiological changes in the body, which are a response to surgical trauma. The body mobilizes a system of protective factors and compensatory reactions. Under the influence of the operation, a new metabolism does not arise, but the intensity of individual processes changes - the ratio of catabolism and anabolism is disrupted.




The catabolic phase - 3 - 7 days - is a protective reaction of the body, the purpose of which is to increase its resistance through the rapid delivery of necessary energy and plastic materials. Clinical manifestations: on the 1st day, patients are lethargic and drowsy (due to the residual effect of narcotic and sedative substances). Starting from the 2nd day, manifestations of instability of mental activity are possible (restless behavior, agitation or, conversely, depression. Cardiovascular system: pallor, increased heart rate by 20 - 30%, moderate increase in blood pressure. Respiratory system: increased breathing when it decreases depth, vital capacity (vital capacity of the lungs) decreases by 30 - 50%


Transitional phase or phase of reverse development – ​​4 – 6 days. Signs: disappearance of pain, normalization of body temperature, appearance of appetite. Patients become active. The heart rate approaches the initial preoperative level, and the activity of the gastrointestinal tract is restored.


Anabolic phase: - increased synthesis of protein, glycogen, fats consumed during surgery and in the catabolic phase of the postoperative period. Clinical signs characterize this phase as a period of recovery, restoration of impaired functions of the cardiovascular, respiratory, excretory systems, digestive organs, and nervous system. In this phase, the patient’s well-being and condition improves.


Incision is an incision of soft tissue for an abscess. Trepanation - creating a hole in the bone (skull, tubular bones) Tomia - section - opening the cavity: Laparotomy - opening the abdominal cavity; Thoracotomy – opening of the chest; Craniotomy – opening of the cranial cavity; Herniotomy – hernia repair; Tracheotomy – opening of the trachea; Ectomy – excision of an organ; Appendectomy - removal of the appendix; Nephrectomy – removal of a kidney; An equivalent concept is extirpation. Amputation is the cutting off of a limb or part thereof. Disarticulation is the removal of a limb at the joint level. Resection is the removal of part of an organ. Ostomy – operation to create an artificial fistula: Gastrostomy – gastric fistula; Cystostomy is a fistula of the bladder. Anastomosis - creation of an anastomosis between two organs (gastroenteroanastomosis) Plastic surgery - restoration of the shape of an organ or creation of a new organ (nose) Prosthetics - reconstructive operations using endoprostheses, autologous tissues. Pexia – binding, suturing.

    STANDARD CONDITIONS OF OPERATIONS

    1. Careful handling of tissues - do not apply rough compression to tissues with instruments, or cause hyperextensions and tears of tissues by manually separating them. 2. Careful separation of the constituent anatomical structures, layer-by-layer stitching of organs and tissues. 3. Careful stop of bleeding to prevent the development of anemia, secondary bleeding, purulent-inflammatory diseases in the postoperative period. 4. Prevention of wound infection is achieved by observing the rules of asepsis and antisepsis.

    Slide 13

    PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE BODY IN THE POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD

    Catabolic phase: lasts 3-7 days; high consumption of energy and plastic materials (proteins, fats and carbohydrates); is a consequence of activation of the sympathoadrenal system, hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Reverse development phase: lasts 4-6 days; the breakdown of proteins, fats and carbohydrates stops and their active synthesis begins; a balance arises between cata- and anabolic processes. Anabolic phase: lasts 2-5 weeks, on average a month; enhanced synthesis of proteins, fats and carbohydrates; activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.

    Slide 14

    MAIN POINTS OF INTENSIVE CARE IN THE POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD

    1. Fight pain with narcotic (promedol, omnopon) and non-narcotic (droperedol, fentanyl, diclofenac) analgesics. 2. Prevention and treatment of respiratory failure, prescription of bronchodilators (euphellin, papaverine); oxygen therapy; breathing exercises; percussion chest massage. 3. Normalization of cardiovascular activity by prescribing cardiac glycosides (strophontin, corglucon, digoxin); metabolites (riboxin); potassium preparations (potassium chloride); rheolytics (reopolyglucin, chimes, agapurine); coronary lytics (nitroglycerin, nitrong, sustak).

    Slide 15

    4. Prevention of exo- and endogenous infection by prescribing synthetic penicillins (ampicillin, oxycillin); cephalosporins (kefzol, cloforan, cefazolin, cefotaxime); amminoglycosides (gentamicin, sizomycin, dobromycin, methylmecin); fluoroquinolones (pefloxacin, ciprofloxacin). 5. Reducing catabolic processes by prescribing vitamins and anabolic steroids (retabolil). 6. Prevention of thromboembolic complications by prescribing anticoagulants (heparin, fraxiparin, clexane). 7. Infusion therapy to cover functional and pathophysiological fluid losses, hemodynamic blood substitutes (polyglucin, reopoliglucin, gelatinol, refortan); detoxification blood substitutes (hemodesis, polydesis); protein blood substitutes (amino acids, albumin, protein); saline and glucose solutions.

    Mastering the technology of pain relief Mastering the technology of pain relief In 1846, the American chemist Jackson and the dentist W. Morton used inhalation of ether vapor when removing a tooth. Surgeon Warren removed a neck tumor under ether anesthesia in 1846. In 1847, the English obstetrician J. Simpson used chloroform for anesthesia and achieved loss of consciousness and loss of sensitivity. Antiseptics - a method of fighting infection The English surgeon J. Lister (1827-1912) came to the conclusion that wound infection occurs through the air. Therefore, to combat microbes, they began to spray carbolic acid in the operating room. Before the operation, the surgeon's hands and the surgical field were also irrigated with carbolic acid, and at the end of the operation, the wound was covered with gauze soaked in carbolic acid. Pirogov N.I. (1810-1881) believed that pus could contain “sticky infection” and used antiseptic substances. In 1885, the Russian surgeon M. S. Subbotin sterilized dressing material to perform surgical interventions, which marked the beginning of the aseptic method. Bleeding F. von Esmarch (1823-1908) proposed a hemostatic tourniquet, which was applied to the limb both during an accidental wound and during amputation. In 1901, Karl Landsteiner discovered blood groups. In 1907, J. Jansky developed a blood transfusion technique.

    The material was prepared by Tatyana Vladimirovna Yapparova, biology teacher at Municipal Educational Institution “Secondary School No. 198”

    Slide 2

    Stages of surgical treatment: preparing the patient for surgery, pain relief (anesthesia), surgery. Stages of the operation: surgical access (incision of the skin or mucous membrane), surgical treatment of the organ, restoration of the integrity of tissues damaged during the operation.

    Slide 3

    Classification of operations by nature and purpose:

    Diagnostic operations allow the surgeon to make a more accurate diagnosis and are, in some cases, the only diagnostically reliable method. Radical operations completely eliminate the pathological process. Palliative operations alleviate the general condition of the patient for a short time. Classification of operations by nature and purpose: Emergency operations require immediate execution (stopping bleeding, tracheotomy, peritonitis, etc.). Urgent operations may be postponed while the diagnosis is clarified and the patient is prepared for surgery. Planned operations are performed after a detailed examination of the patient and the necessary preparation for the operation.

    Slide 4

    Features of modern surgery

    becomes reconstructive surgery, that is, aimed at restoring or replacing the affected organ: vascular prosthesis, artificial heart valve, strengthening the hernial orifice with a synthetic mesh, etc.; becomes minimally invasive, that is, aimed at minimizing the area of ​​intervention in the body - mini-accesses, laparoscopic techniques, x-ray endovascular surgery. Surgery is associated with such areas as neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, endocrine surgery, traumatology, orthopedics, plastic surgery, transplantology, ophthalmic surgery, maxillofacial surgery, urology, andrology, gynecology, etc.

    Slide 5

    Historical information

    Renaissance Ambroise Pare (1517-1590) - a French surgeon replaced the technique of amputation and ligation of large vessels. Paracelsus (1493-1541) - a Swiss doctor developed a technique for using astringents to improve the general condition of the wounded. Harvey (1578-1657) - discovered the laws of blood circulation, determined the role of the heart as a pump. In 1667, the French scientist Jean Denis performed the first human blood transfusion. The 19th century is the century of major discoveries in surgery. Topographic anatomy and operative surgery have developed. Pirogov N.I. performed a high section of the bladder in 2 minutes, and amputation of the lower leg in 8 minutes. The surgeon of the army of Napoleon I Larrey performed 200 amputations in one day.

    Russian surgery

    Surgery in Russia began to develop in 1654, when a decree was issued on the opening of chiropractic schools. In 1704, pharmacy business appeared and in the same year the construction of a surgical instruments factory was completed. Until the 18th century, there were practically no surgeons in Russia, and there were no hospitals. The first hospital in Moscow was opened in 1707. In 1716 and 1719 two hospitals are being commissioned in St. Petersburg.

    Nursing care in surgery

    Teacher: Pishuleva T.V.


    • Patient - a person (individual) who needs and receives nursing care
    • Nursing - part of health care, a specific professional activity, science and art aimed at solving existing and potential health problems in the face of environmental change.
    • Environment Wednesday- a set of natural, social, psychological and spiritual factors and indicators that are affected by human activity.

    Health is a state of physical, spiritual, mental and social well-being and not simply the absence of disease or disability

    (WHO 1947)


    • Patient care - sanitary hypourgia (Greek) hypourgiai - to help, provide a service) - medical activities for the implementation of clinical hygiene in a hospital, aimed at alleviating the patient’s condition and promoting his recovery.
    • Patient care is of particular importance in surgery as an extremely important element in surgical aggression, which mitigates its adverse consequences and largely influences the outcome of treatment.

    • "Surgery" literally translated means handicraft, skill (chier - hand; ergon - action)
    • Surgery refers to one of the main branches of clinical medicine, studying various diseases and injuries, for the treatment of which methods of influencing tissue are used, accompanied by a violation of the integrity of body tissues to detect and eliminate the pathological focus.

    • Surgical care is a medical activity aimed at providing assistance to the patient in satisfying his basic life needs (food, drink, movement, bowel movements, bladder, etc.) and during pathological conditions (vomiting, coughing, breathing problems, bleeding, etc. .).

    1. optimization of the patient’s living conditions that contribute to the course of the disease

    2. accelerating the patient’s recovery and reducing the number of complications

    3. fulfilling doctor's orders


    • General surgical care is to organize sanitary - hygienic and medical-protective regimes in the department.
    • The sanitary and hygienic regime includes:

    Organization of cleaning of premises;

    Ensuring patient hygiene;

    Prevention of nosocomial infection (the term comes from the Latin nosocomium - hospital and from the Greek. nosokomeo- care for the patient) (HBI)


    Creating a favorable environment for the patient;

    Providing medications, their correct dosage and use as prescribed by a doctor;

    Organization of high-quality nutrition for the patient in accordance with the nature of the pathological process;

    Proper manipulation and preparation of the patient for examinations and surgical interventions.


    • The causative agents of surgical infection are pyogenic microbes - aerobes (Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, S treptococcus pneumoniae) and anaerobes(gas gangrene stick - Clostridium perfringens , tetanus bacillus - Cltridosium tetani) .
    • These pathogens cause a specific or nonspecific infection, acute or chronic.

    • A necessary condition for the pathogen to enter the body is the presence entrance gate.
    • The portal of entry can vary in size, from a large wound to a bite or injection site.

    • Ways of infection entering the wound - the pathogen may enter the surgical wound exogenously, i.e. from the environment, or endogenous- from an inflammatory focus in the body itself (boil, purulent tonsil, carious tooth).

    • Exogenous route:

    Air - through the air;

    Drip - through liquid that gets into the wound;

    Contact - through objects in contact with the wound;

    Implantation - through objects that must remain in the wound for the required time.

    • Endogenous route:
    • - hematogenous - with blood flow;
    • - lymphogenous - with lymph flow.

    Local reaction:

    Hyperemia (redness);

    Edema (swelling);

    Local increase in temperature;

    Impaired function.


    • Signs general reaction:

    Weakness, malaise;

    Headache;

    Nausea, vomiting;

    Increased body temperature, chills;

    Changes in blood tests.


    • To fight germs in the wound Lister proposed a number of activities and named them antiseptic.
    • Bergman chose a different path fight against infection: preventing it from entering the body, and proposed other measures called asepsis.
    • Antiseptics is to fight the infection that has already entered the wound, therefore it is a therapeutic method, and asepsis- preventive.

    • Asepsis- this is a set of measures to ensure that microbes do not enter the human body, including the surgical wound.

    Organizational arrangements (special regime zones);

    Physical factors (ventilation, cleaning, ultraviolet radiation);

    Chemicals (disinfectants, antiseptics, etc.).


    Operating room;

    Resuscitation;

    Treatment room;

    Dressing room.


    Limited personnel access;

    Compliance with clothing;

    Compliance with aseptic standards (room cleaning).


    • Asepsis provided disinfection And sterilization.
    • Disinfection- this is the destruction of only vegetative forms of pathogenic and opportunistic microbes
    • Sterilization- this is the complete destruction of microbes and their spores in the sterilized material
    • All objects that come into contact with the wound must be sterile!

    • Sterilization is carried out by physical methods(steam, air, in the environment of heated balls) and chemical(chemicals, gases).

    Prevention of airborne infection

    Wet cleaning of premises;

    Ventilation (reduces the number of germs in the air by 30%);

    Wearing special clothing and replacement shoes by staff;

    UV premises.


    Types of operating room cleaning (Order of the Ministry of Health dated July 31, 1978 No. 720)

    - preliminary is performed before starting work and consists of wiping horizontal surfaces and turning on a bactericidal lamp to disinfect the air;

    - current, carried out during the operation - a fallen ball and a napkin are picked up from the floor, the blood is wiped off;


    - intermediate- between operations, all used material is removed and the floor is wiped;

    - final, at the end of the day the floor and equipment are washed and aired;

    - general- Walls, windows, equipment, floors are washed once a week.


    • Wet cleaning is carried out with a disinfectant - this is a complex consisting of 6% hydrogen peroxide and 0.5% detergent or 1% solution of activated chloramine (with the addition of 10% ammonia).
    • After cleaning, the bactericidal lamp is turned on for 2 hours.


    • Absolute sterility zone - this is the operating room, preoperative and sterilization room of the operating unit.
    • High Security Zone - This is a room for putting on overalls, storing anesthesia equipment and processing instruments.
    • Restricted Zone - This is a room for storing drugs, instruments, surgical linen, and a room for operating room staff.
    • General mode zone - These are the offices of the head of the department of the senior nurse.

    Prevention of droplet infection

    Wearing masks in the operating room and dressing room.

    It is forbidden to conduct unnecessary conversations during surgery and dressing;

    People with acute respiratory infections and pustular diseases are prohibited from being in the operating room and dressing room.


    Prevention of contact infection

    Surgical hand antisepsis;

    Sterilization of gloves;

    Sterilization of dressings and surgical linen;

    Sterilization of surgical instruments;

    Treatment of the surgical field.


    • mechanical treatment to wash away germs from the surface of the skin and open the pores;
    • chemical treatment to destroy microbes remaining on the skin and deep in the pores;
    • the use of a chemical substance capable of tanning the leather, i.e. closing the pores.

    • It is prohibited to take part in the operation if your hands have cuts, pustules, long nails or nails covered with varnish.
    • Spasokukotsky-Kochergin method - wash your hands under running water and soap for 1 minute;
    • wash your hands with a sterile gauze napkin for 3 minutes in 2 enamel basins with 0.5% ammonia: in the first basin up to the elbow, in the second – only the hands and wrists;

    • wipe the hands with sterile wipes, then the forearms;
    • treat hands for 5 minutes with 96% ethyl alcohol, nail beds with 5% alcohol tincture of iodine.
    • According to Alfeld – wash hands with 2 sterile brushes for 5 minutes each. under warm running water and soap, dry with sterile wipes, treat hands with 96% ethyl alcohol and 10% iodine solution, nail beds and skin folds.

    First treatment of hands (solution C-4, 720 order)

    • Preparation of a solution of pervomur for treating the surgeon’s hands: 171 ml of H 2 O 2 33% and 81 ml of 85% formic acid are poured into a glass flask, shaken and refrigerated for 90 minutes (1.5 hours).
    • The resulting mixture is diluted with distilled water up to 10 liters .
    • The resulting solution within 24 hours can be used to treat hands and the surgical field.

    Processing stages:

    Wash hands with soap and running water for 1 minute (without brushes), dry with a towel;

    Wash your hands in Pervomur solution for 1 minute (30 seconds up to the elbow and 30 seconds only on the hands and lower third of the forearms);

    Dry your hands first with a sterile cloth, then your forearms to the elbow of your gloves.


    Hand treatment with chlorhexidine bigluconate (hibitan)

    • The working solution of chlorhexidine digluconate is prepared by diluting the original 20% solution of chlorhexidine digluconate with 70% ethyl alcohol in a ratio of 1:40.

    Processing stages:

    Wash hands with running water and soap, dry with sterile wipes;

    Treat your hands with several gauze balls, moistened with 0.5% alcohol solution of chlorhexidine bigluconate no less 3 minutes first to the elbow, then to the wrist and hand;

    Dry with a sterile cloth;

    Wear sterile rubber gloves.


    • The treatment is carried out in basins for 5-7 minutes, after which the hands are dried with a sterile cloth.
    • The disadvantage of this method is the processing time.
    • Synthetic film coating of the surgeon's hands with Zerigel is carefully applied to the skin of the hands for 2-3 minutes to form a film.
    • Brun's method, which consists of treating hands with 96% ethyl alcohol for 10 minutes.

    • Stepping- hands are processed in a certain sequence - from the fingertips to the elbow bend, and cleaner skin should not touch the less clean area during the treatment process.
    • Punctuality(wash according to the scheme)
    • Symmetry


    Sterilization of surgical linen and dressings

    • Sterilization of surgical linen and dressings is carried out by autoclaving. Sterilization mode - 2 atm., 132 °C, 20 min.

    Terms of maintaining sterility:

    Bix without filter: unopened - 3 days; opened - 6 hours;

    Bix with filter: unopened - 20 days; opened - 6 hours
