  2. Surgery with Hypertension

  3. What is HYPERTENSION Hypertension is defined as a rise in blood pressure over and above the normal range for the age of a patient for three consecutive setting.

  4. NE release (stress) Thickened arterial wall Altered vasomotor Types: According to cause ESSENTIAL SECONDARY Endocrine, Renal, ICP, coarctation, contracep-tives, pregnancy, etc.

  7. Hypertension in surgical patient • High blood pressure is discovered during routine physical examination for a surgical disorder. • Patient on medical treatment for essential hypertension may develop a surgical condition that requires treatment. • Surgical treatment is required for a disorder causing secondary hypertension.

  8. Importance of hypertension in surgical patient: • Higher risk of coronary artery disease. • High fluctuations in blood pressure during surgery, often associated with myocardial ischemia.

  9. These blood pressure fluctuations correlates with post operative cardiac morbidity. • Therefore, control of blood pressure preoperatively should help to reduce blood pressure fluctuations during surgery and perioperative myocardial ischemia. • This is the rationale behind ensuring that the resting BP is controlled prior to surgery.

  10. Systolic Blood Pressure Adverse events are higher with isolated systolic blood pressure HTN, than with diastolic blood pressure HTN Kannel, Framingham Heart Study

  11. Perioperative risks and their management • In hypertensive patients, induction of anaesthesia is often associated with large reductions in arterial pressure. This may precipitate myocardial ischaemia as the diastolic pressure falls thus reducing both the coronary and the cerebral perfusion pressures. In these circumstances vasopressors may be indicated.

  12. Laryngoscopy and intubation often cause large increases in blood pressure. As hypertension associated with tachycardia can cause myocardial ischaemia, prevention of the hypertensive response to laryngoscopy, intubation, and extubation is advisable. • Consequences of pressure surges include bleeding from vascular suture lines, cerebrovascularhaemorrhage, and myocardial ischaemia/infarction. • The mortality rate of such events may be as high as 50%.

  13. Perioperative hypertensive crises are generally caused by a sympathetically mediated increase in peripheral vascular resistance. The choice of the most appropriate antihypertensive therapy depends upon the clinical scenario, i.e. whether there is tachycardia, myocardial ischaemia, cardiac failure, or renal functional impairment.

  14. Clinical assessment of preoperative hypertension: It is desirable that the hypertensive patient undergoes full clinical assessment prior to surgery. This should focus on three issues. • First, careful review of whether existing medications, if they are controlling the blood pressure and when necessary, additional therapy is instituted.

  15. Second, target organ (Heart, Kidney) damage.Any target organ damage increases the operative risks. • Third, to exclude rare secondary causes of hypertension, e.g. Phaeochromocytoma Abdominal bruit [Renal artery stenosis] Hypokalaemia [Conn’s syndrome] Radiofemoral delay [Coarctation of Aorta]

  16. Preoperative Management of hypertension Anti hypertensive medication should be continued throughout the perioperative period in order to maintain control of blood pressure and prevent rebound hypertension.

  17. If blood pressure needs to be controlled more before surgery, then, some manipulation of the patient’s oral therapy can normally be undertaken with a successful result in a few days and hence, surgery does not need to be delayed unduly. If surgery is required more urgently, rapidly acting agents specially beta blockers can be used to control blood pressure in a few minutes or hours.

  18. Untreated & sub optimally treated hypertension do not appear to significantly increase risk when the pressure is below 160/ 105 mmHg since it is relatively easy to reduce it with anaesthesia and parenteral agents. When the pressure exceeds 180/ 110 mmHg, the incidence of perioperative HTN increases along with the need for prolonged parenteral treatment & observation as well as the risk of complication.

  19. List of anti hypertensive drugs: The five classes of drugs commonly used are: • Thiazide diuretics, • Beta blockers, • Ca Antagonists, • ACE inhibitors. • Angiotensin-II receptor antagonists.

  20. If a new anti hypertensive is introduced, a stabilization period of at least 2 weeks should be allowed. Bailey & Love 26th ed. ch16, page 232.

  21. Causes of postoperative hypertension • Post operative acute retention of urine • Pain • Hypothermia • Peri operative Volume overload • Hypercarbia & hypoxia • Post operative Hyper adrenergic state

  22. Surgery with Diabetes Normal Diabetic

  23. Diabetes • Diabetes is a metabolic disorder resulting from insulin deficiency or intolerance. • Associated with acute and long term systemic problems. • Diagnosed by a random plasma glucose >11.1mmol/l and a fasting glucose>7.0mmol/l (WHO criteria). • The two most common forms of diabetes are Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1) and Non Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2).

  24. Diabetes and Surgery • Surgery is a form of physical trauma • It results in catabolism, increased metabolic rate, increased fat and protein breakdown, glucose intolerance and starvation. • In a diabetic patient, the pre existing metabolic disturbances are exacerbated by surgery • The risk of significant end-organ damage increases with the duration of diabetes, although the quality of glucose control is more important than the absolute time

  25. Hormonal Secretion of stress hormones Cortisol Catecholamines Glucagon Growth Hormone Cytokines Relative decrease in insulin secretion Peripheral insulin resistance Metabolic Increased gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis Hyperglycaemia Lipolysis Protein breakdown Metabolic Responses to Surgery

  26. Metabolic Response to Surgery with Diabetes • Hypoglycaemia • Hyperglycaemia • Ketoacidosis • Electrolyte imbalance

  27. Underlying Systemic Complications of Diabetes and Surgery Cardiac: • IschaemicHeart Disease - Often silent ischaemia • Coronary artery disease • Hypertension Renal: • Renal dysfunction • Urinary infection

  28. Underlying Systemic Complications of Diabetes and Surgery Immune and infectious risk • Diabetics are susceptible to infection and have delayed wound healing • Hyperglycaemia • facilitates proliferation of bacteria and fungi • depresses the immune system management • Proteolysis and decreased amino acid transport retards wound healing. • Loss of phagocytic function increases the risks of post-operative infection

  29. Determinents of the management plan • Type of DM • Treatment, diet, oral ant diabetic drugs, insulin • Previous H/O hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic attack and hospital admissions. • Metabolic status • Vascular status: cardiac, renal, cerebral • Surgery: Type: emergency or elective Minor or major procedure Type of anesthesia Post operative oral intake

  30. Pre-operative Assessment • This is the most important step in the management of the diabetic patient • Involves a thorough history and physical examination • Review prior anaesthetic records to determine whether there were any difficulties with intubation or anaesthetics • Lab investigations • blood glucose - K+ • BUN - creatinine • ketones - proteinuria • HbA1c (to assess how well controlled diabetes is)

  31. Principle of Pre-operative management • Metabolic stress of surgery and anesthesia cause increased elaboration of catecholamins, glucocorticoids, glucagon, and growth hormone, all producing their metabolic effects resulting in hyperglycemia in the pre-operative period. • The glycemic control is aimed to achieve a fasting plasma glucose of < 140 mg % and post prandial plasma glucose of < 200 mg %. • Insulin dependent diabetic patients can be admitted 2-3 days prior to surgery to achieve satisfactory control.

  32. Principle of Pre-operative management • In NIDDM patients if the control is good with oral antidiabetic drugs , these drugs are stopped on the day of the surgery and intravenous fluids and insulin are given , if not are advised to stop drugs one week before surgery and admitted for insulin therapy. • On the day of surgery, It is preferable to take diabetic patients for surgery in the morning as first case.

  33. Surgical Management of Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus • Aim to keep blood glucose 5 to10mmol/L • Pre operative • NBM for 6 hrs prior to surgery (4 hrs for clear fluids) • Initiate glucose/ potassium/ insulin regime after commencing NBM (check K+ as well) • 500ml 10% glucose solution with 20mmol K+ 15 unit short acting insulin at 1ml.kg-1.hr. • Hourly capillary glucose is measured until operation

  34. Surgical Management of Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus • Intra-operative • Hourly glucose monitoring • keep between 5-10 mmol/L • Two hourly potassium monitoring • keep between 3.5-4.5 mmol/L • Anaesthesia determined by patient physiology and surgical requirements • Set up additional IV for resuscitation fluids

  35. Surgical Management of Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus • Post-operative • Continue Glucose/Potassium/Insulin regime until patient can take orally • Oral medication with first meal • Allow for pain resulting in increased insulin requirements

  36. Surgical Management of Non Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus • Treat as insulin dependant if: • poorly controlled (blood glucose >10 mmo/L) • major surgery • Pre-operative • Biguanides must be stopped 48 hours before hand for fear of lactic acidosis • NBM for 12 hours prior to operation • Start i.v maintenance fluid • 0.18% NaCl with glucose 4% • Hourly capillary glucose is measured until operation

  37. Surgical Management of Non Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus • Hourly glucose monitoring • Aim to keep within 5-10mmol/L • if blood glucose >10 mmol/L, switch to treating as insulin dependant • Post-operative • Continue Glucose/Potassium/Insulin regime until patient can take orally. • Restart oral anti diabetic with first meal.

  38. Summary: The hypertensive patient requires careful pre operative assessment to make sure that blood pressure is controlled and to exclude secondary causes. These may require surgery to be delayed somewhat, but hypertension itself seldom causes anything more than a slight delay to surgery. If blood pressure needs to be controlled more before surgery, then, some manipulation of the patient’s oral therapy can normally be undertaken with a successful result in a few days and hence, surgery does not need to be delayed unduly.

  39. Summary: • Management of preoperative insulin therapy depends on baseline blood glucose, level of diabetic control, severity of illness and the proposed surgical procedure • However, aims for all diabetic patients are: • No excess mortality • No increase in post-op complications • Normal wound healing • No increase in duration of hospitalisation • No hypoglycaemia, hyperglycaemia or ketoacidosis
