𦴠Anesthesia for Orthopedic Surgery covers tourniquet physiology, BCIS, DVT prophylaxis, spinal anesthesia, positioning injuries, and regional blocks β all essential for EDAIC Part I preparation and safe orthopedic anesthesia delivery.
π What Youβll Learn
Orthopedic surgeries often require tailored anesthetic strategies that balance pain control, positioning safety, and thromboprophylaxis. This module offers a high-yield, clinically oriented review of key perioperative considerations for orthopedic patients, aligning with both EDAIC Part I content and everyday anesthetic decision-making.
π©Ό Tourniquet Use & Physiology β Pressure settings, safe duration, ischemia-reperfusion response, pain management
𦡠Spinal Anesthesia for Hip/Knee Arthroplasty β Choice of agent, level of block, hypotension prevention
πͺ Positioning Injuries β Nerve protection, pressure point padding, lateral/prone/supine considerations
𧬠Bone Cement Implantation Syndrome (BCIS) β Pathophysiology, hypotension, hypoxia, embolic phenomena
π©Έ Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Prophylaxis β Pharmacologic and mechanical options, timing with neuraxial techniques
πͺ Upper Limb Surgery β Interscalene, supraclavicular, axillary blocks for shoulder to hand procedures
π¦Ώ Lower Limb Surgery β Femoral, adductor canal, sciatic, and popliteal blocks for hip, knee, ankle operations
