Indications and contraindications for surgery. Contraindications for anesthesia Indications for surgical treatment

Name surgical operation is made up of the name of the organ on which it is performed and the term that denotes the operational technique being performed.

The following terms are used:

Tomia- dissection, incision, opening;

ectomy- excision;

extirpation- isolating, husking;

resection- partial excision;

amputation- removal of the peripheral part of the organ;

stomia- creation of an artificial fistula;

centes- puncture.

This is where the following names come from:

• rumenotomy(rumen - scar, tomia - dissection) - dissection of the scar;
• enterectomy(enteron - gut, ectomia - excision) - excision of the intestine.
• urethrostomy(urethra - urethra, stomia - creation of an artificial fistula) - the creation of an artificial fistula of the urethra.

Indications and contraindications for operations

Each surgical operation preceded by a diagnosis based on clinical, laboratory or radiological examination.

Thereafter operation substantiate with relevant evidence. In all difficult and doubtful cases of determining indications for surgery, it is necessary to resort to a consultation.

« A cleverly performed surgical operation does not give the right to the title of an experienced clinician. Only a doctor with good clinical training can be a good surgeon.».

Indications for surgery- these are cases when surgical operations are necessary or can be performed.

Indications may be:

• absolute(indicatio vitalis) - those cases in which there is no other way to cure the animal (malignant neoplasms, bleeding, suffocation, pneumothorax, tympania of the scar, prolapse of internal organs);
• relative- those cases in which the operation can be omitted without causing significant damage to the health and productivity of the animal, or when the operation is not the only method of treatment (benign tumor, not strangulated hernia).

NB! One should not resort to surgery when the animal can be cured in an easier and safer way, but also not to neglect the operation when it is the only method of treatment.

Contraindications for surgery- these are cases when the operation cannot or is undesirable to perform.

They are divided into:

Contraindications due to the serious condition of the animal:

With exhaustion, old age, exacerbation of the inflammatory process, fever, infectious disease, a large amount of damage, the second half of pregnancy, sexual hunting in females.

An exception is urgent operations (strangulated hernia, phlegmon, malignant tumor). In these cases, the entire risk must be explained to the owner of the animal.

Contraindications due to economic and organizational factors:

• when imposing a quarantine for an infectious disease characteristic of this type of animal (erysipelas, plague, washing horses, anthrax);
• before the transfer and regrouping of animals;
• 2 weeks before and within 2 weeks after preventive vaccination;
• in the absence of appropriate sanitary conditions for the postoperative maintenance of animals.

The exception is urgent cases that require emergency intervention, in which the operation must be performed in compliance with all the rules of one's own protection and prevention of the further spread of the disease.

Mass operations cannot be carried out in farms that do not have the proper conditions for the postoperative maintenance of animals (calves cannot be castrated if they are kept knee-deep in slurry).

Any surgical operation involving a risk to the life of the animal must be performed only with the written consent of the legal owner of the animal or his representative (head of the farm, private owner of the animal).

If we are talking about an animal that is state property, then the doctor, who imagines the whole need for an operation, must insist on its performance, and, if necessary, operate without waiting for consent.

Any surgical operation has a relative degree of risk.

The risk is negligible. The existing disorders do not affect the general condition and do not cause disorders in other organs and tissues. This group also includes planned operations.

Grade 2 - moderate.

This applies to emergency operations that cannot be postponed, and the animal has moderately severe cardiac or respiratory failure.

Grade 3 - severe.

A sick animal had local lesions of vital organs (myocardial infarction, acute respiratory failure, diabetes).

The issue of surgical treatment of clinical manifestations that are caused by a herniated disc requires a qualified decision (after a thorough examination) with the participation of a neurologist, neurosurgeon, therapist (and in some cases with the participation of an orthopedist and / or rheumatologist).

Unfortunately, surgery is often performed in the absence of proper indications (which will be discussed in this article), which is fraught with the formation of chronic post-discectomy pain syndrome or failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS - Failed Back Surgery Syndrome "), which is caused by many factors, for example , violation of the biomechanics of movement in the operated segment of the spine, adhesions, chronic epiduritis, etc.

Consider the indications for surgical treatment of clinical manifestations caused by a herniated disc, which are published by leading experts in the field of neurology, veterinary neurology and manual therapy.

In the article of the professor, d.m.s. O.S. Levina (Department of Neurology of the Russian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, Moscow) "Diagnosis and treatment of vertebrogenic lumbosacral radiculopathy" in relation to the problem we are considering, the following is indicated:

Recent large-scale studies have shown that although early surgical treatment undoubtedly leads to faster pain relief, after six months, a year and two, it does not have advantages in the main indicators of pain syndrome and the degree of disability over conservative therapy and does not reduce the risk of chronic pain.

It turned out that the timing of the surgical intervention in general does not affect its effectiveness. In this regard, in uncomplicated cases of vertebrogenic radiculopathy, the decision on surgical treatment can be delayed for 6-8 weeks, during which adequate (!) conservative therapy should be carried out. Preservation of intense radicular pain syndrome, severe limitation of mobility, resistance to conservative measures during these periods may be indications for surgical intervention.

Absolute indications for surgical treatment are compression of the roots of the cauda equina with foot paresis, anesthesia of the anogenital region, dysfunction of the pelvic organs. An indication for surgery may also be an increase in neurological symptoms, such as muscle weakness. As for other cases, questions about the appropriateness, optimal time and method of surgical treatment remain the subject of discussion.

In recent years, along with traditional discectomy, more sparing methods of surgical intervention have been used; microdiscectomy, laser decompression (vaporization) of the intervertebral disc, high-frequency disc ablation, etc. For example, laser vaporization is potentially effective in radiculopathy associated with a herniated disc while maintaining the integrity of the fibrous ring, its bulging by no more than 1/3 of the sagittal size of the spinal canal (about 6 mm) and in the absence of movement disorders or symptoms of root compression in the patient horse tail. Minimally invasive intervention expands the range of indications for it. Nevertheless, the principle remains unchanged: the surgical intervention should be preceded by optimal conservative therapy for at least 6 weeks.

Regarding the use of sparing methods for the treatment of a herniated disc, there is also the following recommendation (which can be found in more detail in the article: “Neuropathic pain syndrome in back pain” by A.N. Barinov, First Moscow State Medical University named after I.M. Sechenov):

If there is a non-sequestered lateral (foraminal) disc herniation, less than 7 mm, and the short-term effectiveness of foraminal blockades and / or poor tolerance of glucocorticoids, a minimally invasive procedure of laser vaporization (or its modification - foraminoplasty), cold plasma ablation or intradiscal electrothermal annuloplasty is performed, which is effective in 50-65% of patients. If this minimally invasive procedure does not lead to pain regression, then a microdiscectomy is performed.

According to the recommendations of L.S. Manvelova, V.M. Tyurnikova, Scientific Center of Neurology of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Moscow (published in the article "Lumbar pain: etiology, clinic, diagnosis and treatment") indications for surgical treatment of clinical manifestations caused by a herniated disc are divided into relative and absolute:

The absolute indication for surgical treatment is the development of caudal syndrome, the presence of a sequestered herniated intervertebral disc, a pronounced radicular pain syndrome that does not decrease despite the treatment.

The development of radiculomyeloishemia also requires emergency surgical intervention, however, after the first 12-24 hours, the indications for surgery in such cases become relative, firstly, due to the formation of irreversible changes in the roots, and secondly, because in most cases in in the course of treatment and rehabilitation measures, the process regresses within approximately 6 months. The same terms of regression are observed in delayed operations.

Relative indications include the ineffectiveness of conservative treatment, recurrent sciatica. Conservative therapy in duration should not exceed 3 months and last at least 6 weeks.

It is assumed that the surgical approach in case of acute radicular syndrome and the failure of conservative treatment is justified during the first 3 months after the onset of pain to prevent chronic pathological changes in the root. Relative indications are cases of extremely pronounced pain syndrome, when there is a change in the pain component with an increase in neurological deficit.

As a conclusion, so to speak, summing up the above, one should list the indications for surgical treatment of a herniated disc, adapted for their correct perception by patients and doctors who are not related to neurology and neurosurgery, and published in the article F.P. Stupina(doctor of the highest category, candidate of medical sciences, associate professor of the course of restorative medicine at the Department of Physical Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine of the Russian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education) “Intervertebral hernia. Is an operation necessary? (read full article ->):

“According to the results of many years of observations and the results of surgical and conservative methods of treatment, we noted that the indications for surgery are:
. paresis and paralysis of the sphincters of the rectum and bladder;
. the severity and persistence of radicular pain, and the absence of a tendency to their disappearance within 2 weeks, especially when the size of the hernial protrusion is over 7 mm, especially with sequestration.

These are urgent indications when you need to agree to an operation out of captivity, otherwise it will be worse.

But in the following cases, you need to go for an operation only of your own free will, carefully weighing your decision:
. ineffectiveness of conservative treatment for 3 months or more;
. paralysis of limbs and segments;
. signs of muscle atrophy against the background of the absence of functional activity of the root.

These are relative readings, i.e. about a person's ability to endure pain, the need to go to work, and the ability to self-care."

Operation indications determine its urgency and can be vital (vital), absolute and relative:

$ Vital indications for surgery – diseases or injuries in which the slightest delay threatens the life of the patient. Such operations are performed on an emergency basis, that is, after a minimum examination and preparation of the patient (no more than 2-4 hours from the moment of admission). Vital indications for surgery occur in the following pathological conditions:

¾ Asphyxia;

¾ Continued bleeding: with damage to the internal organ (liver, spleen, kidney, fallopian tube with the development of pregnancy in it, etc.), heart, large vessels, with stomach and duodenal ulcers, etc .;

¾ Acute diseases of the abdominal organs of an inflammatory nature (acute appendicitis, strangulated hernia, acute intestinal obstruction, perforation of a stomach or intestinal ulcer, thromboembolism, etc.), fraught with the risk of developing peritonitis or gangrene of an organ during thromboembolism;

¾ Purulent - inflammatory diseases (abscess, phlegmon, purulent mastitis, acute osteomyelitis, etc.) that can lead to the development of sepsis.

$ Absolute indications for surgery - diseases in which time is needed to clarify the diagnosis and more thorough preparation of the patient, but a long delay in the operation can lead to a condition that threatens the life of the patient. These operations are performed urgently after a few hours or days (usually within 24-72 hours of the preoperative period. A long delay in surgery in such patients can lead to tumor metastases, general emaciation, liver failure and other complications. Such diseases include:

¾ Malignant tumors;

¾ Pyloric stenosis;

¾ Obstructive jaundice, etc.;

$ Relative indications for surgery - diseases that do not pose a threat to the life of the patient. These operations are performed in a planned manner after a thorough examination and preparation at a time convenient for the patient and the surgeon:

¾ Varicose veins of the superficial veins of the lower extremities;

¾ Benign tumors, etc.

Revealing contraindications presents significant difficulties, since any operation and anesthesia pose a potential danger to the patient, and there are no clear clinical, laboratory and special criteria that assess the severity of the patient's condition, the upcoming operation and the patient's response to anesthesia.

Surgical intervention has to be postponed for some time in cases where it is more dangerous than the disease itself or there is a risk of postoperative complications. Most contraindications are temporary and relative.

Absolute contraindications for surgery:

¾ Terminal state of the patient;

Relative contraindications to surgery (any concomitant disease):

¾ Cardiac, respiratory and vascular insufficiency;

¾ shock;

¾ Myocardial infarction;

¾ Stroke;

¾ Thromboembolic disease;

¾ Renal - liver failure;

¾ Severe metabolic disorders (decompensation of diabetes mellitus);

¾ Pre-comatose state; coma;

¾ Severe anemia;

¾ Severe anemia;

¾ Advanced forms of malignant tumors (stage IV), etc.

In the presence of vital and absolute indications, relative contraindications cannot prevent an emergency or urgent operation after appropriate preoperative preparation. Planned operations are preferably carried out after appropriate preoperative preparation. It is desirable to carry out planned surgical interventions after the elimination of all contraindications.

The factors that determine the operational risk include the age of the patient, the state and function of the myocardium, liver, lungs, kidneys, pancreas, the degree of obesity, etc.

Established diagnosis, indications and contraindications allow the surgeon to resolve issues of urgency and scope of surgical intervention, method of anesthesia, preoperative preparation of the patient.

Question 3: Preparation of patients for planned operations.

Planned operations - when the outcome of treatment is practically independent of the time of execution. Before such interventions, the patient undergoes a complete examination, the operation is performed on the most favorable background in the absence of contraindications from other organs and systems, and in the presence of concomitant diseases - after reaching the stage of remission as a result of appropriate preoperative preparation. Example: radical surgery for non-strangulated hernia, varicose veins, cholelithiasis, uncomplicated gastric ulcer, etc.

1.General activities: general measures include improving the patient's condition by identifying and eliminating as much as possible violations of the function of the main organs and systems. During the period of preoperative preparation, the functions of organs and systems are carefully studied and they are prepared for surgical intervention. The nurse with full responsibility and understanding should relate to preoperative preparation. She is directly involved in the examination of the patient and the implementation of therapeutic and preventive measures. Basic and mandatory research before any planned operation:

J Measurement of blood pressure and pulse;

J Measurement of body temperature;

J Measuring the frequency of respiratory acts;

J Measurement of height and weight of the patient;

J Carrying out a clinical analysis of blood and urine; determination of sugar in the blood;

J Determination of blood group and Rh factor;

J Examination of feces for eggs of worms;

J Statement of the Wasserman reaction (=RW);

J In the elderly - an electrocardiographic study;

J According to indications - a blood test for HIV; others

a) preparation of the psyche and physical condition: creating an environment around the patient that inspires confidence in the successful outcome of the operation. All medical personnel should eliminate the moments that cause irritation as much as possible and create conditions that provide complete rest for the nervous system and the patient. For the correct preparation of the patient's psyche for the operation, it is of great importance that the nurses follow the rules of deontology. Before the operation in the evening, the patient is given a cleansing enema, the patient takes a hygienic bath or shower and changes underwear and bed linen. The morale of patients entering for surgery is significantly different from the state of patients who receive only conservative treatment, since the operation is a great physical and mental trauma. One "waiting" for the operation instills fear and anxiety, seriously undermines the strength of the patient. Starting from the emergency department and ending with the operating room, the patient looks and listens to everything around him, is always in a state of tension, usually turns to the junior and middle medical staff, looking for their support.

The protection of the patient's nervous system and psyche from irritating and traumatic factors largely determines the course of the postoperative period.

The nervous system is especially traumatized by pain and sleep disturbance, the fight against which (prescribing painkillers, sleeping pills, tranquilizers, sedatives and other drugs is very important during the preoperative preparation.

For the correct preparation of the patient's psyche for surgery, it is of great importance that the nursing staff follow the following rules of surgical deontology:

¾ When a patient enters the emergency department, it is necessary to provide him with the opportunity to calmly communicate with his relatives accompanying him;

¾ The diagnosis of the disease should be communicated to the patient only by a doctor who, in each individual case, decides in what form and when he can do this;

¾ It is necessary to address the patient by name and patronymic or last name, but do not call him impersonally “sick”;

¾ The patient before the operation is especially sensitive to the look, gesture, mood, carelessly spoken word, captures all the shades of the nurse's intonation. Particularly careful should be conversations during a planned round and rounds conducted for pedagogical purposes. At this moment, the patient is not only an object for research and teaching, but also a subject who catches every word of the bystanders and the teacher. It is very important that these words and gestures contain benevolence, sympathy, sincerity, tact, endurance, patience, warmth. The indifferent attitude of the nurse, the negotiations of the staff about personal, irrelevant things in the presence of the patient, the inattentive attitude to requests and complaints give the patient reason to doubt all further measures, alarm him. The talk of the medical staff about the poor outcome of the operation, death, etc. has a negative effect. A nurse who performs appointments or provides any assistance in the presence of patients in the ward must do it skillfully, calmly and confidently so as not to cause them anxiety and nervousness;

¾ Medical history and diagnostic data should be stored in such a way that they cannot become available to the patient; the nurse must be the keeper of medical (medical) secrets in the broadest sense of the word;

¾ In order to distract the patient from thoughts about his illness and the upcoming operation, the nurse should visit him as often as possible and, if possible, involve him in conversations far from medicine;

¾ Medical staff should ensure that in the hospital environment surrounding the patient there are no factors that irritate and frighten him: excessive noise, frightening medical posters, signs, syringes with traces of blood, bloody gauze, cotton wool, sheets, fabrics, tissue, organ or parts of it, etc.;

¾ The nurse must strictly monitor the strict observance of the nosocomial regimen (afternoon rest, sleep, bedtime, etc.);

¾ Medical staff should pay special attention to their appearance, given that untidiness, sloppy appearance causes the patient to doubt the accuracy and success of the operation;

¾ When talking with the patient before the operation, the operation should not be presented to him as something easy, at the same time he should not be frightened by the riskiness and the possibility of an unfavorable outcome. It is necessary to mobilize the strength and faith of the patient in a favorable outcome of the intervention, eliminate the fears associated with perverted ideas about the upcoming pain sensations during and after the operation, report postoperative pain. When explaining, the nurse must adhere to the same interpretation that the doctor gave, otherwise the patient ceases to believe the medical staff;

¾ The nurse must timely and conscientiously fulfill the doctor's prescriptions (taking tests, obtaining research results, medication prescriptions, preparing the patient, etc.), it is unacceptable to send the patient from the operating table to the ward due to his unpreparedness due to the fault of the medical staff; the nurse must remember that nursing at night is of particular importance, since there are almost no external stimuli at night. The patient is left alone with his illness, and, naturally, all his senses are sharpened. Therefore, care for him at this time of day should be no less thorough than during the day.

2.Specific events: these include activities aimed at preparing those organs on which the operation is to be performed. That is, a number of studies are being carried out related to the operation on this organ. For example, during heart surgery, heart sounding is performed, during lung surgery - bronchoscopy, during stomach operations - analysis of gastric juice and fluoroscopy, fibrogastroscopy. On the eve of the evening in the morning, the contents of the stomach are removed. With congestion in the stomach (pyloric stenosis), it is washed. At the same time, a cleansing enema is given. The patient's diet on the day before the operation: a regular breakfast, a light lunch, and sweet tea for dinner.

Before surgery for biliary tract it is necessary to examine the gallbladder, pancreas and bile ducts using special methods (ultrasound) and study the laboratory parameters of the functions of these organs and the exchange of bile pigments.

At obstructive (mechanical) jaundice the flow of bile into the intestine stops, the absorption of fat-soluble substances, which include vitamin K, is disrupted. Its deficiency leads to a deficiency of clotting factors, which can cause severe bleeding. Therefore, before surgery, a patient with obstructive jaundice is given vitamin K ( vikasol 1% - 1 ml), a solution of calcium chloride, transfuse blood, its components and preparations.

Before the operation on the large intestine for the prevention of endogenous infection, it is very important to thoroughly cleanse the intestines, but at the same time, the patient, often emaciated and dehydrated by the underlying disease, should not starve. He receives a special diet containing high-calorie food, devoid of toxins and gas-forming substances. Since an operation with an opening of the large intestine is supposed, to prevent infection, patients begin to take antibacterial drugs during the preparation period ( colimycin, polymyxin, chloramphenicol and etc.). Fasting and the appointment of laxatives are resorted to only according to indications: constipation, flatulence, lack of a normal stool. On the evening before the operation and in the morning, the patient is given a cleansing enema.

For operations in the area rectum and anus(for hemorrhoids, anal fissures, paraproctitis, etc.) it is also necessary to thoroughly clean the intestines, since in the postoperative period the stool is artificially retained in the intestines for 4-7 days.

To survey departments large intestine resort to radiopaque (barium passage, irrigoscopy) and endoscopic (sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy) studies.

Patients with very large, long-term hernias of the anterior abdominal wall. During the operation, the internal organs located in the hernial sac are set into the abdominal cavity, this is accompanied by an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, displacement and high standing of the diaphragm, which makes it difficult for cardiac activity and respiratory excursions of the lungs. To prevent complications in the postoperative period, the patient is placed on a bed with a raised leg end, and after the contents of the hernial sac have been reduced, a tightening bandage or sandbag is applied to the area of ​​the hernial orifice. The body is "accustomed" to the new conditions of the high standing of the diaphragm, to the increased load on the heart.

Special training on limbs comes down to cleansing the skin from contamination with baths with a warm and weak antiseptic solution (0.5% ammonia solution, 2-4% sodium bicarbonate solution, etc.).

Other diseases and operations require appropriate special studies and preoperative preparation, often in a specialized surgical department.

¾ Preparation of the cardiovascular system:

On admission - examination;

Carrying out a general blood test

Biochemical analysis of blood and, if possible, normalization of indicators

Measurement of heart rate and blood pressure

Removing an ECG

Taking into account blood loss - preparation of blood, its preparations

Instrumental and laboratory research methods (ultrasound of the heart).

¾ Respiratory system preparation:

· To give up smoking

Elimination of inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract.

Carrying out breath tests

Teaching the patient how to breathe and cough properly, which is important for the prevention of pneumonia in the postoperative period

· Chest x-ray or X-ray.

¾ Gastrointestinal preparation

Sanitation of the oral cavity

Gastric lavage

Suction of the contents of the stomach

Meals before surgery

¾ Preparation of the genitourinary system:

Normalization of kidney function;

· Carry out studies of the kidneys: urine tests, determination of residual nitrogen (creatinine, urea, etc.), ultrasound, urography, etc. If pathology is detected in the kidneys or in the bladder, appropriate therapy is carried out;

· For women, before the operation, a gynecological examination is mandatory, and if necessary, treatment. Planned operations during menstruation are not carried out, since these days there is increased bleeding.

¾ Immunity and metabolic processes:

Improving the immunobiological resources of the patient's body;

Normalization of protein metabolism;

· Normalization of water-electrolyte and acid-base balance.

¾ Skin covers:

Identification of skin diseases that can cause severe complications in the postoperative period, up to sepsis (furunculosis, pyoderma, infected abrasions, scratches, etc.). Preparation of the skin requires the elimination of these diseases. On the eve of the operation, the patient takes a hygienic bath, shower, changes underwear;

· The operating field is prepared immediately before the operation (1-2 hours in advance), since cuts and scratches that may occur during shaving may become inflamed over a longer period of time.

On the eve of the operation the patient is examined by an anesthesiologist, who determines the composition and timing of premedication, the latter is usually carried out 30-40 minutes before the operation, after the patient has urinated, removed dentures (if any), as well as other personal belongings.

The patient, covered with a sheet, is taken on a gurney head first to the operating unit, in the vestibule of which he is transferred to the gurney of the operating room. In the preoperative room, a clean cap is put on the patient's head, and clean shoe covers are put on his feet. Before bringing the patient to the operating room, the nurse should check whether the bloody underwear, dressings, and instruments from the previous operation have been removed there.

The medical history, x-rays of the patient are delivered simultaneously with the patient.

In each case, the surgeon must assess the likely risk of developing an unfavorable outcome of the proposed surgical intervention, take into account the possibility of prolonging the patient's life or curing it. Excessive enthusiasm for surgical radicalism, without taking into account the patient's comorbidities and the risk of an unfavorable outcome of the operation, can lead to a significant increase in immediate postoperative mortality and disappointment in the expediency and prospects of surgical treatment of esophageal cancer.

A very important role in the treatment of patients with esophageal cancer is assigned to preoperative preparation aimed at correcting various homeostasis disorders. Hypovolemia, anemia, hypoproteinemia are most often detected in patients with esophageal cancer; hypokalemia and hyponatremia are less common. Parenteral nutrition, correction of volemic and electrolyte disturbances play a leading role in the correction of this type of disorders.

The second, no less important task of preoperative preparation is the identification and treatment of concomitant diseases. Particular attention should be paid to the cardiovascular, respiratory and excretory systems.

Operability for cancer of the esophagus usually does not exceed 50%, resectability (the possibility of performing a radical intervention in persons taken for surgery) is 50-70%.

Τᴀᴋᴎᴍ ᴏϬᴩᴀᴈᴏᴍ, during the examination period, the doctor must first of all determine the oncological and functional operability of the patient. Unfortunately, about half of patients seek medical help with obvious signs of inoperability, when radical surgery is not feasible. Another group of patients, according to the examination in the hospital, has to be denied surgery due to the prevalence of the tumor process or severe, uncompensated diseases of the vital organs.

Absolute contraindications to perform radical surgery are:

1) germination of the tumor in the organs of the mediastinum (trachea, bronchi, aorta);

2) metastases to distant lymph nodes that are inaccessible for surgical removal;

3) metastases to distant organs (liver, lungs).

At the same time, all these reasons are not a contraindication for the use of palliative procedures performed according to vital indications for complications of the underlying disease (most often with tumor obstruction of the esophagus).

Relative contraindications to perform radical surgery are:

1) severe concomitant diseases of vital internal organs (heart, lungs, liver, kidneys), especially when their functional state is decompensated;

2) advanced age of patients (over 65-70 years old) in itself is not a contraindication to surgery in the absence of pronounced changes in the function of internal organs;

3) the impossibility of qualitative correction of metabolic disorders, representing a high risk of anesthesia, exceeding the severity of the operation.

Any surgical intervention is accompanied by the use of anesthesia. The introduction of potent drugs into the body, especially with deep anesthesia, often entails not the most pleasant manifestations for the body. However, there are situations when their use has contraindications. This means that general anesthesia is performed only for urgent medical reasons or when the risk to the life of the patient is justified by the risk of using anesthetics.

Absolute contraindications

This list is conditional. In some cases, as mentioned above, deep anesthesia is used even if they are available. We list the main contraindications to anesthesia:

• The patient has a disease such as bronchial asthma in a severe or progressive form. This condition is directly related to the risk of laryngeal intubation during deep anesthesia. This manipulation can cause closure of the glottis or the occurrence of bronchospasm, dangerous for human life. That is why a rather dangerous combination.
• Pneumonia. After surgery in this case, pulmonary edema may develop.
• Serious diseases of the cardiovascular system. These include myocardial infarction transferred earlier than six months, acute heart failure, as well as uncompensated heart failure. The latter is often accompanied by severe sweating, swelling and severe shortness of breath. Atrial fibrillation, in which the heart rate reaches one hundred beats per minute, also refers to unacceptable conditions.
• Epilepsy, schizophrenia and some other psychiatric and neurological diseases. Contraindications for such diagnoses are associated with an unforeseen reaction of the body of a sick person to the use of anesthetics.
• Temporary, but absolute contraindications, in which the operation is usually not performed under anesthesia, is the state of alcohol or drug intoxication. The point here is that anesthetics will not work, so this procedure is impossible. Surgical intervention in a patient who is in a state of alcoholic or drug intoxication can be performed only after a complete detoxification of the body. Often in this case, the help of a narcologist is needed. General anesthesia is used for patients who are in a state of alcoholic or drug intoxication only for emergency medical reasons. However, in this case, large doses of anesthetics and narcotic analgesics are introduced into the body, which can subsequently lead to an unpredictable effect.

In what cases it is impossible to use mask anesthesia?

It is worth noting that there are contraindications to the use of long-term. First of all, they include the presence of tuberculosis in a patient. It is also prohibited in case of diabetes mellitus and impaired renal function, including with unstable work of the adrenal glands.

In any case, it is up to the anesthesiologist to decide which anesthesia is best for you. It takes into account all diseases and possible contraindications. Carefully approach the choice of specialists and be healthy!

I created this project to tell you about anesthesia and anesthesia in simple language. If you received an answer to your question and the site was useful to you, I will be glad to support it, it will help to further develop the project and compensate for the costs of its maintenance.

Good afternoon! Mom (73 years old) was diagnosed with a giant cystoma of the right ovary. A CT scan was done, all organs were examined, there were no metastases. In the extract, the doctor writes: cystoma? disease of the right ovary (implying oncology)?, i.e., the diagnosis is not known. Due to the fact that the cystoma squeezed all the organs, there are malfunctions in the work of the heart. An operation was planned to remove the cystoma, but after consultation with the anesthesiologist, it was postponed. The anesthesiologist said that the risk is high due to severe tachycardia. Previously, my mother did not complain about her heart. I received a referral for blood donation for a tumor marker (I had donated blood earlier, there was an excess), we will wait for the choice of an alternative treatment. It is difficult for her to move around, she eats little due to the fact that food simply does not fit in a squeezed stomach, in other words, she loses her strength.

Yulia, it is not clear from the question whether we are talking about a planned vaccination, or about the treatment of a disease. If this is a vaccination, I can’t be 100% sure, but most likely there’s nothing to worry about, but it’s better to transfer it to after the operation. And if we are talking about a disease, then additional consultations of doctors, an assessment of the risk and the need for surgery are needed here.

Anastasia 16.08.2016 20:02

Thanks a lot for your answer!

16.08.2016 14:51

Anastasia, if there is no lactation, there are no contraindications, then of course you can do it, but I would advise you to postpone the operation, let the body recover - after all, pregnancy and childbirth are a strong stress for the woman’s body, especially since there was a caesarean section, which means there was anesthesia, or anesthesia. Now immediately again anesthesia. Of course, it happens that we do several operations and anesthesia in a row and everything goes well, but you need to understand that if there is no urgency, then it is better to postpone it so that at least a year and a half has passed. Good luck to you!

Lydia 26.07.2016 16:39

Meniscus resection (arthroscopy): which anesthesia to choose? Good afternoon! I ask for help with the choice of the method of anesthesia for knee arthroscopy (the operation will take at least an hour). The surgeon recommends spinal anesthesia. But what stops me is that because of the neglected spine (osteochondrosis, hernia, etc.), this can be difficult. In addition, I heard negative reviews about this method, including from neurologists. There are opinions that the consequences can manifest themselves even after six months - a year. General anesthesia - everything is fine, but several operations have already been carried out under general anesthesia and I'm afraid there might not be too much. Memory worsened, reaction speed worsened, insomnia torments. In addition, I have arrhythmia, problems with pressure (there were cases when it dropped to 40). Local anesthesia, according to the surgeon, is not an option at all. Remains conduction anesthesia (regional). I would be very grateful if you could give me your opinion on this matter. P.S. I have not talked to the anesthesiologist yet, but I would like to understand what to ask him about.

Hello! My sister fell ill a month ago, with the help of MRI, a sequestered hernia of the L4-S1 vertebra was revealed. They began to prepare for a neurosurgical operation. The ECG showed that there are changes in the heart. Conducted a study of the heart (ultrasound), which showed the presence of aneurysmal deformity of the n / c MPP in the cavity of the left atrium with an interruption of the echo signal of 3.7 mm with a small pathological shunt of blood. Rhythm disturbance. The thickness of the PS of the pancreas is 8.2 mm. The conclusion also says that there is a tendency to dilatation of the cavities of both atria. Concentric hypertrophy of the LV myocardium with a decrease in contractile function. Diastolic dysfunction type 1 Thickening and unexpressed calcification of the valves of the MV and the aortic root. Mitral insufficiency 1-1.5 tbsp. Aortic regurgitation 0-1 tbsp. Tricuspid insufficiency 1.5 tbsp. Pulmonary regurgitation 1 tbsp. myocardial hypertrophy. Moderate pulmonary hypertension. R sist. LA 40 mm/Hg. The neurosurgeon is ready for the operation, but the anesthetists categorically refused the operation twice, pointing out the presence of a heart defect, which greatly frightened us. We had a consultation with a cardiac surgeon, who said that cardiac surgery is not indicated in this situation and there are no obstacles to a neurosurgical operation. Help me figure out whether it is really impossible to give anesthesia or anesthesiologists are just insured? Is there a real direct threat to life? The operation usually takes 3-3.5 hours under general anesthesia. I also write that the hospital is the base for training students of a medical university (maybe this is the reason?), located in our city, a high-class neurosurgeon was supposed to operate, previously he worked in one of the federal centers. I will also say that they learned about the existing heart disease only during the examination. For us, this is a "find", because there have never been any complaints about the heart and there are none.

Hello. Father is 57 years old. After surgery on the carotid artery, progressing signs of stroke were recorded for a year. As a result, the right side of the body was taken away. They did an MRI of the brain a year ago and now - a 4 cm tumor has formed in the brain in a year (I think a post-stroke cyst), but the doctors do not draw a conclusion and simply call it a formation, a tumor (gliastomy). My father walked a little, but fell on his right leg, having received a subtrochanteric fracture of the femur with displacement. Everything would be fine, they wanted to do an operation and install staples on the thigh, but the hospital refused to operate, referring to the impossibility of anesthesia in such a patient. We went to the Institute of Brain Neurosurgery (Tashkent) for permission, where they confirmed to us that no anesthesia can be done, even during surgery on the leg. My father has been in bed for two months and suffers from a fracture, the bones naturally do not grow together on their own. Please tell me, is it really impossible to do anything? Maybe there is a way to anesthetize only the lower part of the body, for example, during a leg operation? Thank you.

Hello, Doctor! When I was treating my teeth, the doctor gave me some kind of anesthetic, after which I cried. She asked if I was in pain and why I was crying. At that moment, I didn’t feel pain, but I cried on my own, I even smiled when answering. She brought me to my senses with ammonia, after which she said that she realized that it was an "adrenaline swing." She said that it was a reaction to adrenaline, and it seems that she added that I ate something sweet before that, so this is the reaction. She did not consider it necessary to write me a name, since it was not a reaction to the anesthetic, according to her, but she wrote something like "adrianol", I could be wrong. I have to go to the dentist, which without anesthesia will be unbearable, and besides, I am breastfeeding, the baby is 1.2 months old, I am not going to quit yet. I still have a question about the adrenaline swing and how dangerous it can be? Is it worth taking tests for the use of anesthetics, if so, which ones, because the prices bite terribly. By the way, after this incident, I was already given anesthesia after childbirth, when the placenta was removed, the general one, but this is probably a different type of anesthesia. Transferred well.

Hello. My wife was diagnosed with stage 4. bladder cancer. A month ago, my wife (64 years old) made an unsuccessful suicide attempt (phenazepam-30tab. + 100g. vodka). She survived, but with serious consequences. For the first 10 days after the poisoning, she only slept, did not eat, only drank water. Then she regained consciousness, began to eat and drink a little, recognized her relatives, spoke poorly, tried to get up and walk herself, although she did not realize where she was and what had happened to her. But mostly she slept, often turning over on one side, then on the other. In a dream, he often slowly raises either his arms or legs, making smooth movements (as in ballet). We thought it would take a week or two and everything would be restored, but every day her condition worsened: she began to talk worse (now she doesn’t speak at all), she doesn’t get up, she walks under herself, she doesn’t respond to our requests, she has to drink and feed in a dream. Now he sleeps 24 hours a day. Eating has become bad, takes food from a spoon into her mouth and sleeps with it, does not chew, does not swallow, does not hear our calls. The oncologist asks us to urgently do an MRI of the brain. But since she can raise her leg or arm at any time, this must be done under anesthesia. The question is whether it is possible for my wife in such a state to undergo anesthesia for an MRI examination, or in our case this is excluded. And if so, do we have any other option for examining the brain without anesthesia or not? Thank you. Nikolai Valentinovich is a pensioner from Moscow.

Hello. Please tell me how important it is to inform the anesthesiologist about the intermittent use of amphetamine for two years if the last use was a year ago, and the use of marijuana within the last year if the last use was a month ago?
