Approximately 10 million people in the U.S. suffer from osteoporosis, a disease that slows the growth of healthy bone and weakens bones over time. Osteoporosis affects nearly 20% of women aged 50 and over and can increase the risk of a fragility fracture during or after joint replacement surgery , of which falling is the most common cause 1. Greater fragility in the bones of a patient with osteoporosis can complicate orthopedic surgery.

Anaesthesia Exam Question:1 Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) is one of the commonly used perioperative risk indices The RCRI determines preoperative risk based on risk of surgery, history of ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, preoperative use of insulin and creatinine greater than 2.0 mg/ dL. The total score ranges from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating a higher risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE).

Cardiac output ( CO ) is mathematically calculated as the product of heart rate and stroke volume. It’s related to preload, afterload, and contractility. One echocardiographic technique I routinely use to estimate a patient’s stroke volume is the volume-time integral ( VTI ). The VTI method is based on the Doppler effect which relates to the perceived change in frequency of sound waves as they reflect off moving objects.

Stroke is a relatively rare but debilitating consequence of surgery [1]. Albeit more common after cardiac surgery, patients who have undergone non-cardiac procedures are also at risk of experiencing stroke [2]. With stroke affecting functions such as vision, movement, and cognitive ability, not to mention carrying the risk of death, the importance of understanding the incidence of stroke after surgery and how best one can prevent it is evident [3].

The heart is anterior to the esophagus, so the transesophageal echo (TEE) probe is facing anteriorly for the majority of the time; however, every once in a while when rotating clockwise/counter-clockwise, I’ll face posterior enough to visualize the spinal column. From a midesophageal region, one can advance and withdraw the TEE probe to see varying spinal cord levels.

Our amazing educators met in April to support one another, share tips for starting a sterile processing program, and discuss how sterile processing and surgical technology programs can have a mutually beneficial relationship. The word of the day was synergy, since educators reported that the benefits of the two programs working collaboratively were exponentially greater for their constituencies than the benefits of both programs operating in isolation.
