Avoiding Common Anesthesia Errors 2nd Edition Table of contents:

AIRWAY AND VENTILATION

• Basics
  • Never neglect the basics of airway management.
  • Basics of airway management – Part II (Tips and Tidbits).
  • Consider PEEP.
• Advanced
  • A variety of techniques provide acceptable anesthesia for awake intubation of the airway: ultimately, the most important factors are operator experience and adequate time.
• Special Cases
  • A high inspired concentration of oxygen is contraindicated in certain circumstances.
  • Remember that there are special considerations involved with both intubation and chronic airway management of burn patients.
• Problem Solving
  • Always troubleshoot an increase in peak airway pressure.
  • Plan for an airway fire with every head and neck case.
  • Know how to perform a cricothyroidotomy.
• Perioperative Issues
  • Don’ts
    • Do not overinflate the cuff of the endotracheal tube.
    • Don’t underrepresent the risks associated with the use of a laryngeal mask airway.
    • Do not be intimidated by the placement and use of double-lumen endotracheal tubes.
    • Do not underestimate the difficulty of reintubating a patient who has undergone carotid endarterectomy or cervical spine surgery.
    • Do not start the airway management of a Ludwig angina patient until personnel and equipment for a definitive (surgical) airway are assembled.

LINES AND ACCESS

• Basics
  • Remember that the IV start is your first chance to make a favorable impression on the patient.
  • Never use an intravenous line without palpating and inspecting it visually.
  • Use of ultrasound guidance for cannulation of the central veins improves success rates, decreases the number of attempts, and lowers complication rates.
• Central Lines
  • Central line placement: never neglect the basics.
  • Approach the use of a pulmonary artery catheter with caution.
  • Avoid technique-related central venous catheter complications by using modern tools.
• Don’ts
  • Don’t overflush lines.
  • Do not use the subclavian vein for central access of any type in a patient planned for dialysis.
• Errors
  • Remember that inadvertent intra-arterial injection is not rare.
  • Avoid errors in invasive blood pressure measurement.
  • Remember that loss of a patent hemodialysis fistula in the perioperative period is a serious event for the patient and requires immediate communication with the surgeons.

FLUIDS, RESUSCITATION, AND TRANSFUSION

• Fluids
  • Hypertonic saline: the “solution” to the solution problem?
  • Remember that the synthetic colloid solutions have distinct properties and risk/benefit ratios.
• Resuscitation
  • Protect the kidneys, not the “UOP.”
  • Do not treat lactic acidosis with bicarbonate.
  • Consider the use of tris-hydroxymethyl aminomethane (THAM) to treat refractory or life-threatening metabolic acidosis.
  • Use the principles of “damage control anesthesia” in the care of the massively bleeding patient and ask the surgeons to implement “damage control surgery” if necessary.
  • Learn from the care of the combat victim: ask the surgeons to consider damage control surgery for the bleeding patient.
• Transfusion
  • Know what screening tests are performed on volunteer donor blood.
  • Transfusion of packed red blood cells requires a careful risk-benefit analysis.
