Thrombocytopenia
is a decreased number of platelets.
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS)
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) refers to a variety of metabolic disturbances that may be
seen with the treatment of cancer. A potentially lethal complication of various forms of
cancer treatment, TLS occurs when large numbers of neoplastic cells are rapidly killed,
resulting in the release of large amounts of potassium, phosphate, and uric acid into the
systemic circulation. It is most commonly seen in patients with lymphoma, leukemia, or
multiple metastatic conditions.
Polycythemia vera
Polycythemia vera is an acquired myeloproliferative disorder characterized by excessive
production of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells, and platelets in the bone
marrow which lead to thickened blood. Both blood volume and blood viscosity increase
several times over. The condition affects men more often and occurs between 50 and
60 years of age.
Adenosine
6 mg intravenously; Regular and monomorphic wide complex tachycardia can be
treated with a first dose of adenosine 6 mg or amiodarone 150 mg. Amiodarone 300 mg
is for patients in cardiac arrest, and synchronized cardioversion is for patients who are
unstable and hypotensive, have an altered level of consciousness, or demonstrates
signs of shock
calcium oxalate ureteral stones
Foods that are high in oxalate include peanuts, tea, instant coffee, beans, beets,
berries, chocolate, dark leafy greens, oranges, tofu, and sweet potatoes.
Virchow's triad that increase the incidence of venous thrombosis
The three factors that increase incidence of venous thrombosis (Virchow's triad) are (1)
hypercoagulability caused by alteration of platelet and clotting factors; (2) venous stasis
caused by incompetent venous valves; and (3) intimal damage caused by trauma, IV
infusions, and ischemia
Epididymis
epididymis is storage space for sperm, which provides nutrients allowing for sperm
maturation. The common duct is continuous with the vas deferens at the lower pole.
The sperm is then transported to the vas deferens for ejaculation. A surgical procedure
called a vasovasostomy or epididymovasostomy is used to reverse a previous
vasectomy or correct stenosis of vas deferens or epididymis, respectively.
24° C (75° F)
Temperature management of perianesthesia patients is critical in the postoperative
period in order to alleviate complications; therefore, the ambient room temperature
should be kept at 24° C (75° F) or greater. Unplanned hypothermia is responsible for an
increase in surgical site infection, potential deep vein thrombosis (DVT) formation, and
has a negative impact on the metabolism of medications.
