INTRA-OPERATIVE:

  • SCS and TED hose placed on patient prior to induction

INDUCTION

      • No opioid administration

      • Esmolol 0.5 mg/kg IV bolus for tachycardia/hypertension

PRIOR TO INCISION

  • Arterial line placement

  • Antibiotic prophylaxis

  • For patients NOT receiving an On-Q pain pump

      • serratus anterior plane block placement by Anesthesiologist (0.25% bupivacaine w/ epi)

  • IF case is > 4 hrs and NO preop Tylenol given: Ofirmev 1 g IV (15 mg/kg)

  • Propofol 25-50 mcg/kg/min infusion

  • Decadron 10 mg IV โ€“ PONV prophylaxis

  • Magnesium 30 mg/kg IV bolus (over 10 min)

  • Esmolol 0.5 mg/kg IV for attenuation of post-intubation hypertension/tachycardia

  • Goal Directed Fluid Therapy (GDFT) per protocol

      • 5% Albumin based strategy to avoid excess crystalloid

      • LR infusion: 2 ml/kg/hr

      • Document SV, SVV, CI PRIOR to incision and then per protocol

  • Forced air warming after draping

  • ABG

      • Baseline then as needed

AFTER INCISION

  • Goal Directed Fluid Therapy

      • Use non-invasive monitor and GDFT algorithms throughout case

      • Do not use quantitative urine output or NIBP as guide for fluid management

      • If patient is anuric, check foley catheter and consider fluid bolus or increasing BP

  • Maintain normothermia (Temp >36 ยฐC)

  • Avoid introp opioids

      • Magnesium continuous infusion 8 mg/kg/hr (max dose: 2 gm and d/c at extubation)

      • Esmolol 0.5 mg/kg IV bolus for tachycardia/hypertension

      • CONSIDER: Precedex 0.2-0.5 mc/kg/hr infusion

  • AT END OF CASE

      • if patient has sulfa allergy and did not celecoxib, give Ketorolac 15 mg IV โ€“ consult with surgeon for any bleeding issues

  • AT EMERGENCE

      • Ondansetron 4mg IVโ€“ PONV prophylaxis

  • Paravertebral On-Q pump placement by Dr. Kraut

  • Blood glucose monitoring

      • For all diabetic patients, continue PAA glycemic control order set

          • Check FSBG Q1hr

      • For all non-diabetic patients, check FSBG within 60 min after induction

          • Goal blood glucose between 100-180 mg/dl

          • Check FSBG Q2hr

          • If FSBG >180, initiate PAA glycemic control order set

  • Confirm ALL fluids both input and output are documented
